Beinn, A hill,
Cruinnich. Gather, collect, assemble, (Gaelic)
The gathering Hill, but whether this name is derived from the gathering of the Clans or the gathering of the mist &c. on its summit cannot be satisfactorily ascertained.
It is a provisionalism to make a noun of the Cruinnich
Thus so participle of the verb Cruinnich, viz. Cruinneachadh is properly a noun but not Cruinnich
