The Lomond Hills rise up up out of the patchwork landscape of Fife and hikes up Bishop Hill transport you, in very little time, to fantastic viewpoints. Sitting north west of Glenthrothes and north east of beautiful Loch Leven, hiking trails allow you to ramble all day long in these intriguing hills, admiring the conical peaks of West and East Lomond.

Hiking

Commanding views all around on a clear day, easily see the iconic Forth Rail Bridge and Queensferry Crossing and East and West Lomond Hills.

If you visit on a day with spirited winds you're also likely to catch a glimpse of a glider or two which is a real treat especially when the local birds join in.
