Creag Dhubh

Creag Dhubh or A' Chreag Dhubh, Scottish Gaelic for the black crag, is a mountain in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. It is located in the Strathspey area of the central Highlands, above and to the west of the village of Newtonmore. It has an elevation of 756 m (2,480 ft) and sits between Glen Banchor and the River Calder to the north, and the River Spey valley to the south and south-west. Despite its modest height, Creag Dhubh is often considered to be a true mountain and offers fantastic views from its summit, including of Strathspey, the Corrieyairack and Creag Meagaidh. The hill's steep and craggy slopes, with a complex ridgeline, make it difficult to walk through.
