Things to do Make an itinerary How to get there Choosing accommodation Food and drink Discounts and saving money Safety tips Where are the Highlands? The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience.

    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.
  • The Best of Walking in Scotland

    The Best of Walking in Scotland

    1 The Best of Walking in Scotland Scotland is a land of contrasts—an ancient country with a modern outlook, where well-loved traditions mingle with the latest technology. Here you can tread on some of the oldest rocks in the world and wander among standing stones and chambered cairns erected 5,000 years ago. However, that little cottage you pass may have a high-speed Internet connection and be home to a jewelry designer or an architect of eco-friendly houses. Certainly, you’ll encounter all the shortbread and tartan you expect, though kilts are normally reserved for weddings and football matches. But far more traditional, although less obviously so, is the warm welcome you’ll receive from the locals. The farther you go from the big cities, the more time people have to talk—you’ll find they have a genuine interest in where you come from and what you do. Scotland’s greatest asset is its clean, green landscapes, where walkers can fill their lungs with pure, fresh air. It may only be a wee (small) country, but it has a variety of walks to rival anywhere in the world. As well as the splendid mountain hikes to be found in the Highlands, there’s an equal extent of Lowland terrain with gentle riverside walks and woodland strolls. The indented coastline and numerous islands mean that there are thousands of miles of shore to explore, while the many low hills offer exquisite views over the countryside. There’s walking to suit all ages and tastes. Some glorious countryside with rolling farmland, lush woods, and grassy hills can be reached within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

The area crosses three local authority areas, two Scottish Enterprise regions, two Forestry Commission areas, two Rural Payments and Inspections Divisions, one National Park and one VisitScotland Region. An area criss-crossed with administrative boundaries, the geography crosses these boundaries, with the area stretching from the spectacular Highland mountain scenery around Crianlarich and Tyndrum, across the Highland boundary fault line, with its forests and lochs, down to the more rolling hills of the Ochils, Campsies and the Kilpatrick Hills until it meets the fringes of the urbanised central belt of Clydebank, Stirling and Alloa.

Businesses in Argyll depends heavily on road transport and moving on a daily basis along this route are food supplies, fuel & oil, fresh seafood, building materials, animal and fish food, livestock, round timber and wind turbines to name a few. Tourist and commuter traffic also depend highly on trunk road routes in Argyll in particular connections to the Central Belt. Communities served locally by the road network include some of the most fragile in the country, with these roads often providing the sole means of access to vital lifeline services. Poor conditions and long journey times along the routes can place a significant constraint on the ease and comfort with which residents can access employment and lifeline services such as health, education, retailing and banking. At the same time, the poor condition of the network also acts as a barrier to growth among local businesses by adding to journey times, increasing the cost of transport, increasing vehicle operating costs and restricting labour catchment areas.
