I can't locate 'Ben Cruachpen, Killin, Perthshire' - the picklist gives 'Ben Chruipen' though the map link just takes you to the centre of the hectad

A few references to Ben Cruachpen via the internet often positioning it close to other problematic locations, but generally in the Ben Lawers range. An exception may be in Botanical Miscellany: Localities of Some of the Rarer Plants, W. Wilson, who reports Juncus castaneus to be plentiful in "Fion Glen, on the north-west side of Ben Cruachpen". Possibly Fin Glen OS NN6344, implying Ben Cruachpen is in the vicinity of Meall Garbh.
