Crespet Hill

Standing at 599 metres in the Aberdeenshire uplands, this remote Dodd occupies forested terrain northeast of the Cairngorms massif. The summit lies within commercial plantations, making access challenging but offering a genuine sense of seclusion. A modest height that nonetheless demands navigational care through dense woodland.

• •The name likely derives from 'crest' or 'cresset', referring to a peaked summit or possibly a beacon site, though the forested surroundings now obscure any historical fire-lighting function it may have served.
• •Its grid reference NJ335214 places it firmly within the Moray Firth watershed, where streams drain northeast towards the coastal plains rather than into the main Cairngorm glens to the south.
• •As a Dodd, it qualifies as one of Scotland's hills between 500 and 599 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence—a classification that ensures a distinct summit despite modest absolute height.
