Creag Mhor

This modest summit sits in the rolling uplands northeast of Perth, reaching 505 metres above the fertile Strathearn valley. The hill forms part of the southern edge of the Highlands, where moorland gives way to farmland. Its classification as both a Dodd and Tump reflects its prominence in otherwise gentle terrain.
