    CITATION CONIC HILL SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST Stirling Site code: 397 PLANNING AUTHORITY: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority NATIONAL GRID REFERENCE: NS 421916, NS 415912, NS 411918, NS413920 OS 1:50,000 SHEET NO: Landranger Series 56 1:25,000 SHEET NO: Explorer Series 347 AREA: 60.66 hectares NOTIFIED NATURAL FEATURES Geological: Igneous Petrology : Ordovician Igneous Biological: Woodlands : Upland oak woodland : Wet woodland Upland habitats : Subalpine calcareous grassland : Alkaline fen Invertebrates : Beetle assemblage : Moth assemblage DESCRIPTION Conic Hill Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is comprised of several detached areas and lies on the east side of Loch Lomond, immediately north of the village of Balmaha. The largest portion of the SSSI constitutes the upland part, whilst the lower areas, adjacent to the loch shore, support woodland. Conic Hill is a composite site supporting varying rocks and soils, and wildlife habitats. The Highland Border Complex is of national importance and consists of a number of narrow, fault-bounded exposures of Ordovician sediments and igneous rocks, which crop out intermittently along the Highland Boundary Fault Zone between Arran and Stonehaven. The ultramafic and mafic rocks of the complex are interpreted as incomplete fragments of a greatly dismembered obducted ophiolite. A narrow zone of rocks belonging to the Complex is exposed north of Balmaha, on the eastern side of Loch Lomond. Exposures extending from the lakeside to Druim nam Beurach consist of detrital rocks which have yielded a chitinozoan fauna of probable Arenig age. The rocks contain a wide variety of ophiolitic clasts including serpentinite, gabbro, dolerite and spilite, which by implication were derived from an ophiolite of early Arenig, or more likely pre-Arenig age.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

Junior G.C. Angus, Arbroath G.C. There is some confusion concerning the spelling of the name of the golf club in Taynuilt. The name of the first club, formed in 1891, is shown as Bonawe in the Annuals, but newspaper items four or five Argyllshire, Acharacle years later covering its activities have it as Bonaw. The second club, whose course was opened in 1905, named as Bunawe and also, in newspapers, as Bonawe, but it appears to have lasted only a year as Campbelltown Hillside another course was opened in 1906. I also had difficulty with an accurate location of the courses, so the map locations are approximate.

  • Loch Etive ICZM Plan

    Loch Etive ICZM Plan

    POLICY ZONE B: NORTH CONNEL TO ACHNACREE BAY (CONNEL NARROWS) LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS This zone has a diverse range of adjacent coastal vegetation, including small cultivated fields and woodlands. A well developed hinterland contrasts with the simple uncluttered water surface and largely undeveloped shoreline. Settlement is broadly linear and parallel with the coast throughout the policy zone. SEASCAPE CHARACTERISTICS The seascape is characterised by a narrow elongated fast moving tidal channel, with some subtle bays west of Connel Bridge on the southern side of the Loch. Under the Connel Bridge, the tidal Falls of Lora are recognised as a major natural heritage feature and are a tourist attraction in their own right. Generally the water surface has a feeling of enclosure as the area is contained by low but pronounced slopes and the almost continuous presence of fast moving currents. However, a maritime presence is also reflected in the movement of boats, and the occasional view of open sea. Connel Bridge & Narrows North Connel shoreline looking east to View east to Kilmaronig narrows from Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council Connel Bridge Connel Bridge Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council Image courtesy of Argyll and Bute Council ACCESS Access can be sought at a number of locations throughout this policy zone. There is good access to Ardmucknish Bay from the pontoon at Camas Bruaich Ruaidhe, although prior permission to use this pontoon must be sought. Access to Falls of Lora is via the two old ferry slipways. The slip at Connel opposite the Oyster Inn has limited car parking facilities and is suitable for shore divers and kayakers, however boats cannot be launched from this slip.
