Creag nan Eun

Rising high above Glen Lednock, this bulky heathery shoulder offers a rugged and quieter alternative to its popular neighbour, Ben Chonzie. The ascent rewards walkers with a sense of isolation and a commanding perspective over the deep waters of Loch Turret and the rolling moorland of the southern Highlands.

• •The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'Crag of the Birds,' a likely reference to the birds of prey, such as golden eagles or peregrine falcons, that frequent the steep, craggy eastern slopes overlooking the burns.
• •It is most commonly climbed as part of a circular route from Invergeldie in Glen Lednock, often paired with the Munro Ben Chonzie to add variety and better views to the otherwise broad, grassy plateau.
• •The summit provides an excellent vantage point for viewing the full length of Loch Turret to the south-east, while the distant, jagged peaks of the Arrochar Alps are visible on the western horizon on a clear day.
• •Navigating the broad, peat-heavy col between this summit and Ben Chonzie in a thick mist is a rite of passage for any walker looking to test both their compass skills and the integrity of their waterproof footwear.
