Craig Doin

A modest Dodd rising to 587 metres in the Scottish uplands near the Highland Boundary Fault. The grid reference places it in the rolling country north of the Tay, where grassy ridges and forestry plantations characterise the terrain. One of the quieter hills in this transitional landscape between lowland and Highland proper.

• •The name Craig Doin derives from Scots Gaelic, with 'craig' meaning rock or crag, though the second element 'doin' is less certain—possibly a corruption of 'donn' (brown) or a local place-name now lost to common usage.
• •At 587 metres, it qualifies as a Dodd—a classification for hills between 2000 and 2500 feet with at least 15 metres of prominence, named after the rounded fells of that name in the Lake District.
• •The hill sits in a landscape shaped by the Highland Boundary Fault, the major geological division running northeast across Scotland that separates the Highlands from the Central Lowlands.
