About Cona' Mheall
Cona' Mheall takes the form of a fine rocky ridge at the eastern end of the Beinn Dearg group, near Ullapool in Wester Ross, and gives wide views from its summit.
It is normally taken in along with Beinn Dearg itself, though a trickier alternative approach comes up from the A835 to the south.
