Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic Stob Coire Bhuidhe, meaning 'Peak of the Yellow Corrie'. This most likely refers to the colour of the bent grass or seasonal mosses that coat the slopes of the corrie immediately to the north.
- •Sitting at 856 metres, the summit forms an integral part of the high-level horseshoe walk that links Ben Lui and Ben Oss, two of the most popular peaks in the Southern Highlands.
- •From the summit, walkers are treated to an exceptional profile view of Ben Lui’s massive central crags, as well as a clear sightline down Glen Cononish towards the distant peaks of the Bridge of Orchy.
- •It is the kind of summit that ridge-walkers frequently bag by accident while focused on the larger Munros nearby, only realising they have ticked off a separate top when the map comes out for the descent.
