Other walks in the area
Lomond Hills Circuit
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.
Glen Burn waterfall

This nice little walk brings you into sandstones along Glen Burn to reach a nice waterfall surrounded by little caves.
Perth country
The walk, 90% of which is on quiet country roads, on a good day offers truly brilliant country views. Many splendid views across extensive farmlands and on the latter half across the Tay Valley, the Tay Road bridge and towards the Earn river Valley.
Jonathan's Cave via Macduff Castle, East Wemyss
This walk follows the well-known Fife Coastal Path and brings you to visit several little caves via Macduff Castle. If you are lucky, along the way, you will be able to spot some seals. The best time to spot them is at low tide.
Dumglow Via Dumifarline And The Inneans

Dumglow Direct
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.
Pittencrieff Park & Dunfermline Abbey

Known locally as “The Glen”, the beautiful 76 acre Pittencrieff Park was gifted to the people of Dunfermline by Andrew Carnegie. This short walk takes in some of the park’s best bits before allowing you to explore Dunfermline Abbey, burial site of King Robert the Bruce. Keep a look out for the resident peacocks whilst in the park!
