Camas nan Geall and Ben Hiant, Ardnamurchan, Argyll
Camas nan Geall is a sandy bay on the south shore of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. The bay lies to the west of the promontory Rubha Aird Slignich and to the east of Ben Hiant and Maclean's Nose.
Camas nan Geall is of archaeological interest with a Neolithic chambered cairn and a Bronze Age standing stone.
Camas nan Geall is one of the most photographed beaches on the Ardnamurchan peninsula with excellent views of the bay from a viewpoint off the B8007. The Lochaber Geopark interpretation board at the viewpoint also gives a fascinating insight into the geology and local landmarks.
Ben Hiant rises to a height of 1732 feet and is located 3 miles east of Kilchoan. It dominates the northern shore of Loch Sunart with its bare rock exposures and jutting outcrops. Again, excellent views can be obtained from the B8007 viewpoint.
Ben Hiant has been designated as an SSSI for its geological features and flora and fauna.
The viewpoint on the B8007 is also a good location to scan the skyline for raptors (including Golden and White-tailed Eagles, Common Buzzards and Peregrines) and corvids (Ravens and Hooded Crows).
