Craignane

Rising to 501 metres in the Carsphairn Hills, this modest summit sits within a quiet corner of southwest Scotland's uplands. The hill qualifies as a Dodd and Donald Dewey, appealing to classification baggers exploring this less-travelled terrain. Approaches involve navigating typical Southern Upland moorland, with heather and grass underfoot rather than rocky scrambles.

• •The name Craignane likely derives from Scottish Gaelic 'creag nan', meaning 'crag of the', though the final element has been lost over time, leaving the hill's original identifying feature unknown to modern walkers.
• •At exactly 501 metres, Craignane sits just one metre above the 500-metre threshold required for Donald Dewey classification, making it one of the borderline summits where accurate surveying matters most.
• •The Carsphairn Hills remain among Scotland's quietest hill ranges, with Craignane seeing a fraction of the footfall that Munros or even neighbouring Corbetts receive, despite offering genuine solitude and open ridge walking.
