The Lomond Hills



The Lomond hills, the highest points in Fife, are situated about 20 miles West of St. Andrews and consist of two peaks (East and West Lomond) and a 6.5km plateau that runs between the two. The walk itself is easy, there is a car park on East Lomond that is about 1,200 feet up so most of the climb is done. The plateau inbetween the two has a well worn and maintained path and is a height of 1,150 feet so not much drop inbetween the two. The two peaks are steep but as you only climb around 700 feet at most it's not difficult at all, but once at the top you are rewarded with grand vista's all the way from the Pentlands in the South to the Cairngorms in the North,
