According to Wikipedia: "Ben Cruachan is a mountain that rises to 1,126 metres (3,694 ft), the highest in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It gives its name to the Cruachan Dam, a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located in a cavern inside the mountain.

The horseshoe includes a further Munro, a Corbett, and several subsidiary summits. 'Cruachan!' is the battle cry of Highland clans Campbell and MacIntyre."
