Elrick Beg

Perched in the southern Highlands near the Perthshire-Stirlingshire border, this modest Dodd rises to just over 500 metres. The summit offers a compact viewpoint across Glen Artney and the surrounding moorland hills. Typically climbed as part of a circuit with neighbouring tops rather than as a standalone objective, making it a hill for the methodical bagger.

• •The name derives from Gaelic 'ealraig beag', meaning 'little shieling' or 'small summer pasture', reflecting the seasonal grazing practices once common across these upland pastures.
• •Its classification as a Dodd places it among Graham Jacksons's list of hills between 2000 and 2999 feet with 30 metres of prominence, a category often overlooked by summit collectors focused on more celebrated lists.
• •The hill sits within the Glen Artney estate, an area historically managed for deer stalking and grouse shooting, activities that continue to shape the landscape and access patterns today.
