Overview

This is a circular walk starting from the carpark in Falkland town centre. The start is a challenging climb to East Lomond summit of 450 metres where there are great views over East Fife and the estuary. The descent from there is a little steep and rocky to begin with but follows an interesting route down to Mapsie Den and back into town.
