Craig Hill
Central Highlands SCOTLAND
14km/8.7 miles/4 hours
Ascent 460m/1500ft^3
WITH FORESTS on one
side and grouse moors on
the other, Craig Hill is a peak
of two distinct halves, the
summit itself a delightful
mix of the twain: gnarled
old pines and sheltered
clusters of larch dotted across
heathery ground, breaks in
the trees revealing vistas of
distant mountains.
With drizzle in the air, I
opted to approach through
the forest, setting of from
a small walkers’ car park
on Kenmore Hill, accessed
by a steep single-track road
snaking up from the village
of Kenmore, on Loch Tay.
From there it was a short
hike to Tombuie Cottage
where I joined the Rob Roy
Way, a long-distance trail
inspired by the adventures
of the famous cattle reiver
