Creag Craiggan

Standing at 509 metres in the Central Highlands, this modest Dodd occupies wooded and agricultural ground north of Crieff. The summit lies within working farmland, and the ascent typically involves negotiating field boundaries and rough pasture. Views extend across Strathearn to the higher peaks of the southern Highlands, though access requires careful navigation and respect for surrounding land use.

• •The name 'Creag Craiggan' is a Gaelic tautology, combining 'creag' (crag or rock) with 'craiggan', a diminutive form meaning 'small rocky place' – effectively 'the rock of the little rocky place', suggesting the summit was once distinguished by a modest rocky outcrop or scattering of boulders.
• •At 509 metres, this hill sits just 9 metres above the 500-metre threshold required for Marilyn status, placing it firmly in the category of hills that offer genuine ascent without demanding a full day's commitment.
• •The grid reference NN933474 places the summit in an area where managed forestry and agricultural land meet the more open moorland of the southern Highlands, making route choice and access considerations particularly important for any ascent.
