A grand dome and the remains of an ancient volcanic plug, West Lomond is a marvellous objective. Hikes to West Lomond take you to the principal summit of the beautiful Lomond Hills, which stretch for some six miles (ten km) above the surrounding pastureland. Upon gaining the summit, you’ll have all of Fife below you and a glorious panorama to enjoy.

Hiking

Really good views across all of Fife from this obvious summit. From the west a fairly high car park makes easy work of this Marilyn. A good track leads all the way to the summit, very easily done on a mountain bike too.

Running

West Lomond at 522m is the highest point in Fife and the highest point in the Lomond Hills. It's the prominent western top on the skyline with amazing and genuinely far reaching views across Scotland.
The running here is great with good trails, ascents and descents but only very short sections of steep. The trails and tracks allow good loops from any of the car parks or Falkland.
