Tips

Occupying a prominent rise in the northern arm of Black Creag, Dun da Lamh was an early Pictish hillfort that today overlooks the Spey Dam Reservoir. It is thought to have been a frontier fortress, watching over farmland to the north and east.

360 feet (110 m) long, the remains are surprisingly well preserved, particularly at the western end. It commands a splendid view of the surrounding land, with the Monadhliath mountains rising in the north east and the Cairngorms in the east.

Lovely walk upto the old fort opposite the Wolf Trax MTB centre, Laggan.

Don't get deterred by the initial logging areas - the top is well worth the climb and the views are lovely.
