Overview

The walk (3.5 miles) follows the Michael Bruce Way. There is a steep ascent (135 metres) on tarmac road to the top of the Cobbles before entering the bottom of Bishops Hill. The path is up and down skirting the lower hillside, giving splendid views of Loch Leven and the fields below. We will have a coffee stop early in the walk to take in the views. We continue along the track into Kilmagood Wood, then down to Scotlandwell to look at the Well & washhouse. After leaving the village we will follow the signs to Portmoak Moss and walk through wooded areas as well as open fields. Returning on tracks to the village. Refreshments at Lochend Farm Shop.
