Cruach Ardrain is a Munro mountain located in the southern highlands of Scotland in the Stirling Council area, five kilometres south east of Crianlarich.
Cruach Ardrain is clearly delineated to the west by the upper valley of the River Falloch and to the east by the Benmore and Inverlochlarig glens and is one of the more distinctive of the group of mountains that stand in Glen Falloch. It has a fine pointed outline and is a well seen from the village of Crianlarich with which it is closely associated. A popular horseshoe ridge walk taking in the mountain starts and finishes in the village. Cruach Ardrain is Y shaped and reaches a height of 1046 metres . The hills name originate from the Gaelic language and its exact meaning is vague and has various translations into English. One popular version being “The High Heap” however Cruach more usually means a stack, giving an alternative translation of “Stack of the High Part”. The name has also been translated in guide books as “High Mound” and “High Slopes”.
