Creag Mhor

About Creag Mhor

Creag Mhor lies in the Forest of Mamlorn, ten kilometres north-east of Tyndrum, and counts among the remoter hills of the southern Highlands. It belongs to the Breadalbane country, on the Perth and Kinross border with Stirling.

The summit reaches 1,047 m, qualifying as both a Munro and a Marilyn. It is often taken together with the neighbouring Munro of Beinn Heasgarnich, the pair forming the high ground that separates Glen Lochay from Loch Lyon.

Classifications and ratings are the local authority's own and can be coarse — this is a lead, not a guarantee of opening hours or that food is served to non-residents. Follow a name through to the official rating page to check, and confirm before you rely on it.

The Creag Mhor group

One other listed summit sits in the same prominence group, with Creag Mhor as the independent hill at its head.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
