Overview

This is a strenuous circular walk taking in the highest summit in Fife, West Lomond Hill and encircles four reservoirs Harperleas, Holl, Drumain and Ballo. It starts with the steady ascent of West Lomond on track and then more steeply on open hillside. Following the descent of the hill the walk undulates through a mixture of open countryside and forest track. There is a short stretch of road walking back to the car park at the end.
