About Carn na Croite

Resting on the sprawling moorland between Glen Prosen and Glen Isla, this 563-metre summit embodies the quiet character of the Angus Glens. It is a broad, heather-clothed dome, often overlooked in favour of the nearby Munros, offering a sense of isolation amidst the peat hags and rolling plateau.

Classifications

Did You Know?

  • The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic Càrn na Croite, which translates as the 'Hill of the Hump,' accurately reflecting its rounded profile against the Highland skyline.
  • From the summit, you gain a clear, expansive perspective across the upper reaches of Glen Prosen toward the dramatic glacial troughs of Mayar and Driesh to the north.
  • It is the kind of hill perfectly suited for those who find the presence of other people an unnecessary distraction from the serious business of getting boots wet in a peat hag.
