Difficult
Departure from Fife
The route starts from the Holl Reservoir car park and goes in an anti-clockwise direction. Walking anti-clockwise has the advantage of going down rather than up the steep south side of West Lomond, although what was just feint path amongst the heather is becoming well trodden nowadays.

2h 35
Easy
Departure from Perthshire and Kinross
Dumglow is an unavoidable point in the area of The Cleish Hill. The Cleish Hills straddle the boundary between Perth & Kinross and Fife. Made up of tussocky grass moorland they have a real hill feel to them despite not being particularly high. The highest point Dumglow lies within Perth and Kinross, but at 339m the nearby Park Hill is the seventh highest hill within Fife. Although Park Hill could be approached from the Fife side, it is probably best included with an ascent of Dumglow.
