Did You Know?

  • The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'Creag Coire Damh', which translates as the 'Crag of the Corrie of the Stag', reflecting the area's long history as a deer forest.
  • The hill overlooks the Corrieyairack Pass to the south, where General Wade constructed a famous military road in 1731 to allow government troops to move quickly through the Highlands.
  • From the summit, walkers gain an excellent perspective of the Great Glen to the west, with the prominent peak of Ben Tee and the high ridges above Glen Garry clearly visible on a clear day.
  • The surrounding plateau has undergone significant change in recent years due to the development of the Stronelairg Wind Farm, which sits on the remote moorland to the north and east.
