Overview

Circular walk up West Lomond hill from the car park. The route leads past the fascinating rock formations at the Bunnet Stane, then takes a steep path up and over West Lomond (the top of West Lomond can be avoided by taking a lower path). The walk descents very steeply down a grassy slope (care needed) to Glenvale and the return route passing John Knox's Pulpit.
