Overview

Starting in Falkland this walk will take us through Mapsie Den and an interesting ravine leading up to the summit of East Lomond on good hillpaths. From there the descent back to Falkland will provide great views over the town.
This is a repeat of the walk done in November which was cut short due to bad weather. We plan to do the circuit in reverse this time.
