Hiking
A mighty 3,310-foot (1,009 m) peak on the Cruachan massif, Drochaid Ghlas is a superb viewpoint. It rises roughly halfway between the Munro summits of Ben Cruachan and Stob Dàimh and misses out on Munro status due to its proximity to the former. The ridge between Ben Cruachan and here is rocky, airy and entertaining – hillwalking at its finest.
