Creag Each
Creag Each (673m) — the horse crag — sits north of Comrie in Glen Lednock in the NN62 square, a craggy little summit on the Highland edge of southern Perthshire. The rocky prominence above the cairn looks south over Strathearn to the Ochils and north into the heart of the Breadalbane group, with the cleft of the Devil's Cauldron visible far below.

Start at the Glen Lednock car park beside the Devil's Cauldron above Comrie. Take the path past the Cauldron viewpoint and continue up the glen to where a stalkers track climbs west onto the Auchnafree hillside. Strike north onto the heather slopes of Creag Each, picking a line through outcrops to the summit prominence with its small cairn.
Terrain
Comrie woodland path, then estate track at a steady gradient, then heather and outcrop on the open hillside. The summit is a small rocky knoll above a heather plateau; a short hands-on step at the very top adds a little character.
In winter
Southern Perthshire snow tends to be thin and crusted. Creag Each picks up wind-drifted cover on its north-facing crags and the summit step ices over readily. The Glen Lednock road is rarely treacherous, making this a useful winter option when the bigger hills are not in condition.
