Some small hills are so exquisitely situated that they wipe the floor with many loftier viewpoints, rewarding walkers with an unforgettable experience for minimal effort. Hikes to Conic Hill’s prominent summit, beautifully perched above the southern, island-studded shores of Loch Lomond, are a perfect case in point. On a good day, you won’t believe your eyes (or your luck) that views from such a gorgeously accessible hill exist.

    Hiking

    Beautiful view of Loch Lomond and the Highlands. Especially for hikers of the 'West Highland Way' makes a nice prelude to the desire for the following days.

    Sometimes it can be a bit crowded, as many day trippers from Balmaha also venture the climb.

    Hiking

    If you're headed northbound along the West Highland Way, Conic Hill is your first challenge as its role as guardian to Loch Lomond below. Peaking at 1,184 feet (361 m), the walk up from the east is extremely steep with a gradient as high as 24%.

    However, tough it out and you'll be rewarded with beautiful views over Loch Lomond, and on a clear day, you might even catch a wee peak of Ben Lomond, Scotland's southernmost Munro.

    Hiking

    From Conic Hill you have a great view over the south end of Loch Lomond. The strenuous, steep climb up to the top is worth it and up on the mountain is plenty of space to make a picnic.
