Craig Megen

Rising to 534 metres in the southeastern Highlands, this Dodd and Tump occupies rolling moorland terrain north of Glen Isla. The summit offers a modest vantage point over the upper reaches of Strathardle and the southern Cairngorms beyond. Typically climbed as part of a circuit with neighbouring tops rather than as a standalone objective.

• •The name Craig Megen derives from Scottish Gaelic, with 'craig' meaning 'rock' or 'crag', though the second element 'megen' is less certain and may reflect an older form of description now obscured by centuries of anglicisation.
• •The hill sits within the transition zone between the fertile glens to the south and the wilder, higher ground of the Mounth plateau to the north, making it a natural marker in the landscape for those navigating between Strathardle and Glenshee.
• •As a Dodd, Craig Megen meets the criteria of having at least 15 metres of prominence, marking it as a distinct summit rather than merely a shoulder of higher ground, despite its modest profile in a landscape of competing tops.
