Did You Know?
- •The name derives from the Gaelic 'Creagan Cais', which translates as 'crag of the steepness', likely referring to the sudden drop-offs found on its eastern slopes.
- •From the summit, the view stretches across the head of Glen Prosen to the distinctive notched profile of The Goal and the high, stony plateau of Mayar.
- •The hill is often visited as a slight detour from the 'Ministers’ Path', a historic 19th-century track used by local clergy to travel between the remote kirks of Prosen and Clova.
- •It remains one of the few summits in the area where you are more likely to encounter a stray red grouse than a fellow human being.
