Hiking

Creag Leacach is a 987m Munro mountain in the Scottish Highlands. The pass that leads up to the Glenshee Ski Centre (A93) is perfectly placed to allow a high start point for this Munro. Unusually, the summit cairn of this Munro is along a wall that runs up and over the rocky summit.

Hiking
