Craig doesn't give you much to go on from the road — a scatter of houses on the way to somewhere else, the kind of place you'd miss if you blinked, with no high street to speak of and no crowd it visibly attracts beyond the people who already live there. That absence is itself the character: this is a hamlet, not a settlement with a centre of gravity, and it reads as a place people choose for the quiet rather than for anything laid on.
There's little in the way of hard local detail to work with here — no housing figures, no school or transport data, no crime counts specific to Craig itself. What exists is the wider Scottish picture it sits inside: a national median age around 43, an employment rate a little under 60 per cent, and roughly a third of people nationally working in management or professional roles. Craig will share the rhythms of rural and small-settlement Scotland more broadly rather than any pattern distinct to itself — there simply isn't enough here to say whether it's older or younger, better-off or not, than its neighbours.
Whether Craig suits you is really a question of temperament rather than amenities. If you're drawn to a hamlet precisely because it asks nothing of you beyond quiet, and you're bringing your own routines — your own commute arrangements, your own sense of where to shop and be schooled and treated — this is the kind of place that stays out of your way. If you need to see the shape of daily life laid out before committing, Craig won't offer that from the outside; you'd be moving somewhat on trust.
