Crungie Clach

Sitting in the remote Atholl Forest, this 618-metre Tump offers a quiet vantage point east of the Beinn a' Ghlo massif. The terrain is quintessential Highland moorland—trackless, heather-clad, and occasionally boggy. The summit provides a rugged, close-up perspective of Carn nan Gabhar and the deep, wild interior of the Grampians.

• •The name likely derives from the Gaelic 'Cruinn-chlach', meaning 'round stone', a common descriptor for hills in this region where glacial erratics are often found perched on the moorland.
• •The summit offers a clear view across to the three peaks of Beinn a' Ghlo, providing a sense of scale for the massive Munro range that is often lost when standing on its own slopes.
• •Though reachable from Glen Tilt, the approach involves navigating a significant stretch of pathless ground where the heather is deep enough to make every mile feel like two.
• •In the quiet tradition of many eastern Grampian hills, the highest point is a modest affair that requires careful map reading to distinguish it from the surrounding peat hags.
