West Lomond is the highest point in Fife at 522m, the taller of the two Lomond Hills that stand over the county — its partner, East Lomond, sits a few kilometres to the east. Despite the name, the pair have nothing to do with Loch Lomond away to the west; these are old volcanic hills, and West Lomond’s rounded dome is a landmark for miles across the lowlands. The climb is short and the view stretches over Loch Leven and the Fife farmland. The village of Falkland, with its royal palace below the slopes, makes a good base.
