Creag Shiaraidh

Rising to 570 metres in the central Highlands, this Dodd sits near the eastern edge of Loch Ness, roughly grid reference NN663974. The name derives from Gaelic 'creag shiaraidh', possibly meaning 'western crag'. It occupies forested and moorland terrain typical of the Great Glen's lower slopes, offering a modest ascent for those exploring the quieter hills around Fort Augustus.

• •The name 'Creag Shiaraidh' comes from Scottish Gaelic, with 'creag' meaning rock or crag, and 'shiaraidh' likely deriving from 'siar' (west), suggesting this was recognised as the western crag in relation to some local feature or viewpoint.
• •At 570 metres, it falls just short of the 610-metre threshold for Corbett status, placing it among the many modest hills that form the wooded and craggy slopes flanking the Great Glen between Fort Augustus and Invermoriston.
