About Creag-mheall Mor East Top
Rising to 598 metres on the western edge of the Northwest Highlands, this subsidiary top sits alongside its higher namesake in rugged, remote terrain. Classified as both a Dodd and Tump, it offers a genuine sense of wilderness in country where rocky outcrops and scattered lochans characterise the landscape between Loch Torridon and Loch Maree.

Did You Know?
- •The name Creag-mheall Mor comes from Gaelic, combining 'creag' (rocky crag), 'meall' (rounded hill), and 'mòr' (big), describing a landscape where craggy outcrops punctuate broader, dome-shaped summits.
- •As an East Top, this summit is one of several high points on an extended ridge, typically climbed in conjunction with the main Creag-mheall Mor rather than as a standalone objective.
- •The Dodd classification identifies it as one of Scotland's hills between 500 and 599 metres with sufficient drop to qualify as a distinct summit, while the Tump listing recognises any British hill with at least 30 metres of prominence.
