About Creag nam Mial NW Top
A subsidiary top of the higher Creag nam Mial in the southern Highlands, this 512-metre summit sits northwest of its parent hill. Classified as both a Dodd and a Tump, it occupies rough moorland terrain typical of this part of Perthshire. The ascent is usually combined with the main summit rather than sought as a separate objective.

Did You Know?
- •The name Creag nam Mial comes from Scottish Gaelic, meaning 'crag of the lice' or 'vermin crag', likely referring to the presence of sheep ticks or other parasites troublesome to livestock grazed on these slopes.
- •As a northwest top rather than a standalone peak, this summit is typically visited by Tump completists seeking the full set of 150-metre prominence hills, though casual walkers may pass it by while ascending the main Creag nam Mial.
- •The hill lies within a relatively undisturbed tract of upland Perthshire, with few waymarked paths and navigation best undertaken with map and compass in hand.
