Craiglee is a mountain in the Galloway Forest Park. It is classified as a Marilyn as it has more than 150m of prominence.

There is no path from the Southern Uplands Way to Craiglee despite what Openstreetmap may suggest otherwise. This whole area is populated by free ranging "Hairy Coos" for which there are many signs. There are sections of track made by the large herbivores which are occasionally adorned by encouraging human bootprints, but these sections are best avoided unless you enjoy sudden deep plunges into wet bog.

Most of the other ground is a typical Galloway mixture of bog and large tussocks until you get higher when the large slabs provide much needed relief.

The summit trig point is an excellent vantage point with 360° views. There was a large herd of wild goats in residence.
