Creag nan Abhag

Rising to 590 metres in the Central Highlands north of Loch Ness, this forested Dodd occupies remote ground between Strathglass and the Great Glen. The summit lies within commercial plantation, making navigation more challenging than the modest height suggests. A hill for those seeking quiet ground away from popular routes.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'Creag nan Abhag', meaning 'crag of the terriers' or possibly 'crag of the dwarf trees', reflecting either the small hunting dogs once used in the area or the stunted vegetation clinging to its rocky outcrops.
• •The hill sits in the transitional ground between two great Highland fault lines, where the landscape shifts from the softer pastoral glens to the west and the deeper trench of the Great Glen to the east.
• •As a Dodd, it meets the criteria of being a hill between 500 and 600 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence, a classification that captures modest summits often overlooked in favour of their taller neighbours.
