About Conic Hill
Located on the eastern side of Loch Lomond and also on the Highland Boundary Fault Line, walkers leave the popular village of Balmaha for a short but fairly stiff climb to the top of Conic Hill, 361m high. It is a sharp little summit which is on the Highland Boundary Fault. There was a tiny cairn at the top; as of February 2019 there is only a scattering of stones to mark the "true" summit. Most visitors also stop on a sub-summit at 358 m.Address : Conic Hill, Stirling G63 0AQ, UK

Traditionally forming part of the boundary between the counties of Stirlingshire and Dunbartonshire, Loch Lomond is split between the council areas of Stirling, Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire. Its southern shores are about 23 kilometres northwest of the centre of Glasgow, Scotland's largest city.

With fairly easy paths and both natural and historic spots to explore, the island is certainly worth some consideration if you’re looking for places to explore in the area.
