Dubh Chreag

A modest Dodd rising to 538 metres in the pastoral landscape between Loch Tay and Perth. The name translates from Gaelic as 'black crag', suggesting darker rock outcrops or heather-clad slopes. Its position in Scotland's gentler southern Highlands offers a contrast to the high peaks further north, with woodland and farmland approaches typical of the region.

• •The name Dubh Chreag derives from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'black crag' or 'dark rocky outcrop', likely referring to exposed darker rock formations or the shadowed appearance of the hillside when viewed from the valley below.
• •At 538 metres, this hill sits comfortably within the Dodd classification, a category celebrating Scotland's hills between 500 and 600 metres that often receive less attention than their loftier Munro neighbours.
• •The hill's location in the '01A: Loch Tay to Perth' area places it in transitional terrain where the dramatic geology of the central Highlands begins to give way to the softer landscapes of Perthshire's southern approaches.
