Drummossie Muir, a bleak, broad-backed, sandstone ridge on the mutual border of Dores, Inverness, Daviot, and Croy parishes, NE Inverness-shire. Forming the north-eastern and declining portion of the continuous south-eastern hill-screen of the Great Glen of Scotland, it presents to the view, from the neighbourhood of Inverness, an almost straight sky-line; has an average summit elevation of 800 feet above sea-level; and includes, at the NE end, the battlefield of Culloden.
