Located 2½ miles (4 km) northeast of the Pass of Brander in Argyll & Bute this mountain is located within the Ben Cruachan massif to the east of Ben Cruachan itself. Stob Diamh (which is Gaelic for "peak of the stag") rises to a height of 998m (3274 feet). Together with two satellite peaks it forms part of an east-facing group known as the Dalmally Horseshoe.
