Beinn Dubhchraig takes its name from the Gaelic for 'mountain of the black rock', after the steep, rocky face above Loch Oss, a small loch with an island in the corrie to the south. Below the northern corrie are the remains of Coille Coire Chuilc, a fragment of the old Caledonian pinewood, and the northern foothills still carry scars from lead mines that closed in 1923. A cairn marks the top, with Ben More and Stob Binnein in view to the south-east.
