Cramalt Craig

Standing as the second-highest point in the Manor Hills, this expansive Southern Upland ridge offers a classic high-level plateau walk. Often approached alongside Broad Law from the Megget Stane, its grassy, rounded slopes provide a sense of scale and solitude, overlooking the deep, quiet valleys of the Tweedsmuir hills.

• •The name originates from the Gaelic 'crom-allt', meaning 'crooked burn', likely referring to the winding Cramalt Burn that drains the hill's southern slopes toward the Megget Reservoir.
• •Despite its impressive height, the hill was stripped of its Corbett status in 1984; modern surveys confirmed the re-ascent from its higher neighbour, Broad Law, is slightly less than the required 500 feet.
• •The summit offers a clear perspective of the Manor Water valley as it cuts north toward Peebles, framed by the steep eastern face of Dollar Law.
• •The hill is frequently bagged as part of a high-level circuit from the Megget Stane, a historic boundary stone sitting at the highest point of the road between the Talla and Megget reservoirs.
• •It is a hill for those who enjoy the specific psychological challenge of walking toward a summit that looks almost identical to the three miles of moorland you have just crossed.
