About Creagan Geur

Rising to 503 metres above Loch Earn in the Southern Highlands, this Dodd stands on the northern slopes overlooking Ardvorlich. The ascent through mixed woodland and rough hillside rewards with views across the loch to Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin. A modest summit but a satisfying outing in well-visited terrain.

Did You Know?

  • The name derives from Gaelic 'Creagan Geur', meaning 'sharp little crag' or 'keen little rock', describing the hill's rocky character as seen from the lochside below.
  • The hill sits on the southern edge of Glen Artney, historically part of the vast hunting forests held by the Stewart earls of Strathearn before passing to the Crown.
  • Though overshadowed by its much larger neighbour Ben Vorlich to the southwest, Creagan Geur offers a shorter alternative ascent for those seeking views of Loch Earn without committing to a full Munro day.
