Creag Liaragan West Top

Tucked above the southern shores of Loch Rannoch, this minor Perthshire summit offers a quiet, pathless alternative to the busier peaks nearby. The terrain is characterized by deep heather and rugged outcrops, requiring steady effort to reach the top, where expansive views stretch across the water toward the iconic cone of Schiehallion.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'Creag', meaning rock or crag, and 'Liaragan', which likely stems from 'leargan', describing a little slope or hillside.
• •From the summit, walkers are rewarded with a clear perspective down the full length of Loch Rannoch toward the peaks of the Black Mount in the distant west.
• •Because it lacks an official classification, this top is often overlooked in favour of the main Creag Liaragan summit to the east, making it an excellent spot for those seeking solitude.
• •The lack of any official trail ensures that the only company you are likely to encounter is a startled red grouse or a particularly lost sheep.
