About Leagag
Tucked away north of Kinloch Rannoch, this heathery Graham offers a quieter alternative to the crowds on neighbouring Schiehallion. Rising to 601 metres, it provides a superb vantage point over the waters of Loch Rannoch and the distant Black Mount. The terrain is typical Perthshire moorland: rough, boggy, and largely pathless.

Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Gaelic Leagag, a diminutive meaning "the little slope," which aptly describes its modest stature when compared to the higher mass of the Carn Mairg group situated to the south.
- •Standing at 601 metres, the hill is one of the lowest Grahams in Scotland, scraping into the classification by a single metre under the current 600-metre threshold.
- •The summit offers an exceptional and uncrowded view of Schiehallion’s tapering eastern ridge, as well as a clear sightline westward over the full length of Loch Rannoch toward the peaks of the Black Mount.
- •While its height of 601 metres secures its status as a Graham, a determined walker with a large enough shovel could, in theory, demote it to a mere Marilyn in a single afternoon.
