About Ceann Caol na Creige

Rising to 587 metres in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, this Dodd sits above Glen Falloch near Crianlarich. The hill's rocky upper slopes contrast with the forested lower ground, offering a quieter alternative to the nearby Munros that dominate the skyline. A straightforward ascent rewards with views across the glen towards Ben More and Stob Binnein.

Did You Know?

  • The name Ceann Caol na Creige translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'the narrow head of the crag', describing the hill's rocky summit character and tapering ridgeline that defines its upper reaches.
  • Despite standing nearly 600 metres high, this hill sees relatively few visitors compared to its illustrious neighbours, with most walkers drawn instead to the Munros of Ben More and Stob Binnein visible across Glen Falloch.
  • The hill occupies a strategic viewpoint above the old military road through Glen Falloch, part of the network constructed in the 18th century to control movement through the Highlands following the Jacobite uprisings.
