Crogearraidh na Thobha [Crogary na Hoe]

Rising from the water-webbed landscape of North Uist, this modest Marilyn offers a rugged, rocky character that belies its 154-metre stature. The terrain is quintessential Hebridean moorland—untamed and often sodden—rewarding climbers with a grandstand view over the Sound of Harris toward the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Harris hills.

• •The name reflects the island's Viking heritage, combining the Old Norse kró-garðr (a pen or enclosure) with haugr (a hill or mound), which became 'Hoe' in the anglicised form.
• •From the summit, the view reveals the extraordinary 'water-scape' of North Uist, where the peatland appears to barely float amongst a labyrinth of sea-lochs and freshwater lochans.
• •Because it rises from near sea level with 154 metres of prominence, it qualifies as a Marilyn, making it a mandatory ascent for peak-baggers despite being shorter than many foothills on the mainland.
• •It is one of the few places where you can experience a genuine sense of mountain isolation while remaining comfortably within sight of the ferry terminal at Lochmaddy.
