A small crag or rocky outcrop; a little craggy formation.
Diminutive form of 'crag' using the Scottish suffix '-le' (similar to '-let'), common in Scottish and Northern English dialects. The suffix indicates a smaller version of the base word.
Scottish English is incredibly productive with diminutives—'birkie,' 'shellie,' 'craighle'—and they convey not just smallness but often affection or familiarity, which means Scottish speakers could describe landscapes with both technical precision and emotional warmth.
