Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'Creag an t-Searraich', meaning 'crag of the foal' or 'young horse crag', likely referring to the hill's use as summer grazing land for horses in centuries past.
  • The hill sits on the watershed between Glen Ogle to the west and Loch Earn to the north, positioned where the old drove routes from the Highlands met the lower ground towards Stirling.
  • Despite its modest height, the summit provides clear views across Loch Earn to the larger Munro of Ben Vorlich, and northwards to the complex ridges of the Breadalbane range including Meall nan Tarmachan.
  • The hill is often climbed in combination with nearby Beinn Each to the northeast, the two forming a satisfying circuit from the hamlet of Ardvorlich on Loch Earn's southern shore.
