Overview

At 522m, West Lomond is the highest point in the county of Fife. Our route climbs it via the Bunnet Stane. We will then make our way across to Bishop Hill and return by Glen Vale. Some road walking at the start but other than that, the walk is on tracks and hill paths although these are rough and boggy in places.
