About Druim Ardoch [Creag Bheithe]
Rising to 576 metres in the Trossachs, this modest Dodd sits between Loch Katrine and Loch Venachar. The name combines Gaelic 'druim' (ridge) with 'ardoch' (high place), while the alternative name 'Creag Bheithe' translates as 'birch crag'. Typically climbed from the south, the wooded lower slopes give way to rougher ground approaching the summit.
