15 Stunning Walks in Fife for Scenic Adventures (as of 2024)

10. West Lomond Again (But Via the Bunnet Stane)

Pin

If you like a challenge*, this is one of the best walks in Fife.

*(I use the term ‘challenge loosely—cos with a total ascent of only 420 meters/1,400 feet, this is still very doable and simple for any experienced hikers).

Anyway, this hike takes you up to the same peak as our last wander. But it’s a bit longer, a bit steeper, a bit tougher, and a bit lesser-known.

But it’s also prettier and more interesting, so (if you’re fit enough for it), this is the West Lomond walk I recommend.

Park up in the small ‘Bunnet Stane Car Park’ layby (it only has space for 3 or 4 cars), walk past the strange lumpy formations of the Bunnet Stane, ascend the peak, then head back to your car in a big loop.

The paths for this West Lomond ascent aren’t as well-marked as they are on the other trail, but you can find a great description of the details here. I love this walk.
