Lochcraig Head is a hill in the Moffat Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The second highest in the range, its southern slopes drop dramatically into Loch Skeen, the highest loch in the Southern Uplands, from which the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall originates.[3] A common ascent is as a round from the car park to the south, taking in White Coomb.[1]
