Craig of Loinmuie

A modest summit in the eastern Grampians, rising to 540 metres above the agricultural lands of Aberdeenshire. The hill sits within forested terrain typical of this stretch of the Mounth, offering a quiet ascent away from the better-known peaks further west. Its classification as a Dodd reflects its prominence within the local landscape.

• •The name 'Loinmuie' likely derives from Scots Gaelic elements, with 'lòn' meaning meadow or marshy ground and 'muidhe' possibly referring to a churning or wet place, suggesting the hill rises from damp, low-lying terrain.
• •As a Dodd, Craig of Loinmuie qualifies by having a drop of at least 15 metres on all sides—a classification created by hillwalkers Alan Dawson and Tim Woodall to recognise Scotland's distinctive lower summits.
