Cranstackie is a mountain of 2,628 feet in Sutherland, standing within the remote parish of Assynt. Its height qualifies Cranstackie as a 'Corbett'.
The mountain is to be found west of Loch Eriboll and north-east of Foinaven. Like Foinaven and Beinn Spionnaidh to the north-east, its top is covered with loose, broken quartzite. The slope is much steeper on the west side than the east, but neither approach is easy due to the covering of loose rock.
