Creag Bheag translates as ‘small rock’ in Gaelic, which might explain why there are two hills bearing this name in the same area. Here, we’re referring to the hill that rises immediately above the town of Kingussie, and to the south of Loch Gynack. The other hill here by this name rises to the north of the town. This Creag Bheag tops out at 1,598 feet (487 m) and is delightfully craggy.

An easy Loop from the town to reach this Marilyn. There are a few cairns on the top, the true summit being the one built like a trig pillar closer to the south west.
