Conival

Conival (Scottish Gaelic: Cona Mheall) is a Scottish mountain situated in Assynt in the Sutherland area of the Highland Council Area, 30 kilometres north-northeast of the town of Ullapool.
== Overview ==
Conival is a distinct landmark when viewed from the A837 road to the west from where its conspicuous 600 metres high western face is well seen, this flank is made up of light coloured and distinctive Cambrian quartzite rock thickened by geological thrusting.〔(University of Leeds Geology Site. ) Describes western face.〕 The mountain reaches a height of 987 metres (3238 feet) and is classified as a Munro. It is connected to the adjoining and better known Munro of Ben More Assynt which lies 1.5 kilometres to the east by a high, rough quartzite ridge. Conival has a rich diversity of attractions on its slopes making it popular not just with walkers but also geologists, biologists and speleologists.
The mountain's name is slightly enigmatic in its meaning. The name does not originate from the Norse language like many of the hills in the Assynt area; it does in fact derive from Gaelic. It was called Conamheall in the original 1891 publication of Munro's Tables,〔(The Munros and Tops 1891-1997 ) Gives changes in successive editions of Munro's Tables.〕 which translates as “adjoining hill”〔"100 Best Routes on Scottish Mountains" Page 168 (Gives translation as “Adjoining Hill“).〕 or “hill of meeting”〔"The Munros" Page 216 (Gives translation as “Hill of Meeting“).〕 (a reduced form of Gaelic ''coinneamh'' "meeting", and in prepositional constructions "opposite, facing", plus ''meall'' "round hill") which is probably the correct translation as it describes its close connection to Ben More Assynt. Between 1921 and 1969 the mountain was called Cona-mheall which translates as “enchanted hill”.〔"The High Mountains of Britain and Ireland" Page 319 (Gives translation as “The Enchanted Hill“).〕 Since 1974 it has been called by its anglicised name of Conival.
