An Creagan

Rising to 573 metres above Strathardle in Highland Perthshire, this modest Dodd and Tump offers a woodland and moorland ascent from the nearby hamlet of Tynabaich. The summit provides an elevated viewpoint over the valley floor, though the hill itself sits quietly among the higher ground to the north and west.

• •The name An Creagan is Gaelic for 'the little rock' or 'the crag', from 'creag' meaning rock or cliff, with the diminutive suffix '-an' suggesting a small but distinctive rocky feature rather than a major crag.
• •The hill lies in Strathardle, a glen that once served as a key cattle droving route between the Highland glens and the markets at Crieff and Falkirk in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
• •Despite its modest height, An Creagan stands well above the River Ardle valley floor, giving it a prominence sufficient to earn Dodd classification—a list reserved for hills in northern England and southern Scotland with at least 15 metres of topographic prominence.
