Creag Mholach

A modest Dodd rising to 530 metres on the eastern shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll, offering a straightforward ascent through mixed woodland and open hillside. The summit provides elevated views across the loch towards the Cowal peninsula, with the higher peaks of the Arrochar Alps visible to the north.

• •The name Creag Mholach derives from Scottish Gaelic, combining 'creag' (crag or rocky outcrop) with 'mholach' (hairy or shaggy), likely describing a hill face covered in rough vegetation or scrub.
• •The hill's location on the Loch Fyne shoreline places it within Scotland's longest sea loch, which stretches over 40 miles from the Sound of Bute to its head at Cairndow.
• •At 530 metres, the summit falls just short of the 600-metre threshold required for Simm classification, placing it firmly in the realm of the smaller, quieter Dodds and Tumps that often see fewer visitors than their loftier neighbours.
