Mountain Description
|
|
|
Conachcraig has three tops, the summit in the S, a unnamed mid top (850m) and Caisteal na Caillich (862m) in the N. In addition, a single ridge runs E to Carn an Daimh (617m) and a few rocky outcrops occur on the N slopes of this ridge . Conachcraig is otherwise a rounded hill with mostly easy slopes. It can be ascended from the E via the ridge or from the S via the track to Lochnagar (Munro)

I disagree! On a fine sunny, dry day this is a glorious hill. I ascended from the Lochnagar junction to the west and descended due South to hit the track at the ford. Easy going over short cropped heather made it a pleasure to walk on and the views were great.

This hill is so over-shadowed by neighbouring Lochnagar its embarrasing. A short-lived up-and-down from the path to the south is the easiest route. A slightly different perspective on the Royal mountain is about all its got going for it. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, perhaps exploration of its northern slopes is the key to appreciating this hill, or a combination with a stroll past the falls in Glen Muick.
