  Description
Creag Ruadh is the highest point in an extensive tract of high ground bounded to the S by Loch Earn and to the E by Glen Lednock.

It lies conveniently close to the Graham Creag Each around the head of Glen Tarken, and the two could readily be combined in one expedition.

There are 3 tops on the summit area, the highest being that to the W.

Several bulldozed tracks surround the hill which can be used for access.
