Creag nan Gabhar

Overlooking the eastern end of Loch Earn near St. Fillans, this rugged Tump offers a quiet, heathery ascent away from the busier Trossachs trails. It serves as an excellent vantage point, providing clear views across the water to the towering mass of Ben Vorlich and the rocky prow of Stùc a' Chroin.

• •The name Creag nan Gabhar is Scottish Gaelic for 'Crag of the Goats,' a common topographical marker in the Highlands indicating where feral goats—once a staple of the local economy—frequented the steep, rocky ground.
• •The summit offers a unique perspective on the village of St. Fillans and the mouth of the River Earn, while the southern view is dominated by the sprawling heather moorland of the Forest of Glenartney.
• •To the west, the hill overlooks the Derry and Tynatechid glens, providing a clear sightline towards the Glen Ogle viaduct, a landmark of Victorian engineering on the former Callander and Oban Railway.
• •Falling just two metres short of the 610m threshold required for Graham status, the hill remains largely overlooked by baggers, ensuring its slopes remain significantly quieter than the nearby Munros.
