Map

Well seen from the stones at Calanais, Conostom is the highest point of a notched ridge of bare gneiss between two branches of Loch Rog. Whilst not far from a road, some rough bog needs to be crossed before the final scramble up to the trig point.

As is usual in these parts, the view is rather fine.
