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.
