Toll Creagach

About Toll Creagach

Toll Creagach is a domed hill of the Northwest Highlands, standing between Glen Affric to the south and Loch Mullardoch in what was Inverness-shire. Corries bite into its slopes, but the overall shape is rounded rather than craggy.

The summit is 1,054 m, a Munro and also a Marilyn, HuMP, Simm and Murdo. Ascents are usually made from the Affric side; Cannich, to the east, is the nearest village.

Finding the summit

The recorded summit point is rock 20m W of cairn. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

The Toll Creagach group

One other listed summit sits in the same prominence group, with Toll Creagach 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.
