Bealach Ard is the gap in the ridge between Conic Hill and the subsidiary Tom nan Oisgin. For those ascending to Conic Hill from Balmaha, emerging from the trees here is a glorious moment, revealing a stunning Highland vista.

Path to Conic Hill Summit

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Conic Hill is part of a major geological feature known as the Highland Boundary Fault. This forms a zone separating the lowlands to the south from the Highlands to the north, each with different rock types, landscapes, animal and plant life, and cultural heritage. There are wonderful views from the top.
