Cnoc Craggie

Rising above the moorlands of Sutherland, this rocky outcrop offers a manageable climb with a distinctively high-country feel. The summit provides an excellent vantage point over the long stretch of Loch Shin and the rugged peaks of the Reay Forest to the northwest. It’s a quiet, heather-clad spot for gaining perspective.

• •The name is derived from the Gaelic Cnoc, meaning hill or knoll, and Creagach, meaning rocky, which accurately describes the craggy character of its summit compared to the surrounding peatland.
• •Its position in the Sutherland interior provides an unobstructed perspective of Ben Klibreck, the most isolated Munro, which dominates the horizon to the northeast.
• •While technically a modest Hump, the surrounding Sutherland bog ensures that the approach often requires more navigational focus than the actual climb.
