About Creag Innis an Daimh Dhuibh
Rising above the winding River Orchy, this rugged heathery summit offers a quieter alternative to the neighbouring Munro giants. At 334m, it serves as a fine vantage point for surveying the Bridge of Orchy peaks. Its pathless terrain and rocky outcrops provide a genuine sense of solitude within the vast Grampian landscape.

Did You Know?
- •The Gaelic name translates to 'Crag of the Meadow of the Black Stag,' suggesting the sheltered lower slopes were once a noted stalking ground or a favoured resting place for deer.
- •The summit provides a striking, low-level perspective of the massive western faces of Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh, which tower over the landscape to the east.
- •Despite its modest elevation, the hill is classified as a Hump, meaning it possesses a topographic prominence of at least 100 metres from its surroundings.
- •It is the kind of summit where you are far more likely to share the view with a wandering red deer than another walker, a situation the 'black stag' of its name would likely have appreciated.
