Creagan na Beinne is a hill in the Scottish Highlands lying to the south-east of Loch Tay in the group of rolling hills and moors whose highest point in Ben Chonzie.[1][2] However Creagan na Beinne stands on the other side of Glen Almond from its parent and hence has a considerable relative height.
The hill is a large convex dome, deeply cut by corries. The whole area is grouse moors and sheep country. The easiest way up the hill is from the north-west where the hamlet of Ardtalnaig lies by the shore of Loch Tay; the north-west ridge is a possible line of ascent and so is following the Gleann a' Chilleine to Dunan and climbing the south ridge.
