Creag na Sroine

This 532-metre Dodd sits in the Monadhliath foothills north of the Cairngorms, occupying rough moorland terrain typical of this less-visited upland fringe. The summit offers a vantage point over Strathspey and the wider eastern Highlands, though the approach involves navigating trackless heather and peat rather than established paths.

• •The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'Creag na Sròine', meaning 'crag of the nose', likely referring to a projecting rocky feature on the hillside visible from the valley below.
• •As a Dodd, this hill qualifies among the lower tier of Scottish summits between 2000 and 2999 feet, named after the rounded hills of the Lake District but applied more widely across Britain's uplands.
• •The grid reference places this hill in the upper reaches of Strathdearn, part of the vast moorland expanse stretching between the Monadhliath plateau proper and the settlements along the A9 corridor.
