The Beinn Dubhchraig (also Beinn Dubhcraig ) is a 978 meter high mountain in Scotland . In Gaelic it is called Beinn Dubh-chreig , which means something like mountain of black rocks . The mountain is located in the southern highlands between the places Crianlarich and Dalmally in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and is classified as Munro .
Together with the 50 meters higher Ben Oss to the west, the Beinn Dubhchraig forms a semicircular wide ridge that opens to the south. While the Ben Oss clearly protrudes as a steep rocky cone, the Beinn Dubhchraig forms a gentle ridge at the end of the ridge. In the broad range, as Chur Garbh designated by two mountains formed Kar located hole Oss , a small lake. Beinn Dubchraig and Ben Oss are connected by the almost 780 meter high Bealach Buidhe saddle . The Beinn Dubhchraig, like its neighbor, is made of mica schist , but has less rocky areas, mainly into the Coire Garbh and to the north.
The Beinn Dubhchraig lies on the watershed between the Scottish east and west coast. To the north it drains over the River Cononish into the Tay and the North Sea, to the south Loch Oss drains into the River Falloch , a tributary of Loch Lomond and thus into the Firth of Clyde . Most Munro excavators climb the Beinn Dubhchraig together with the Ben Oss from the east, starting in Dalreigh near Tyndrum. The approach is also possible from the south from Gleann nan Caorann .
