In some film, buildings here were used to represent Edinburgh in the past - unfortunately, I can't remember which one it was.

This is the end of the road, or the start of the trails depending on which way you look at things. There is an information board about the area here and paths heading west towards West Lomond or up to the summit of East Lomond.

Falkland is a village and the historic capital of Fife. It's a great place to start a walk, with the Lomond Hills accessible to the south and the Falkland House estate of Maspie Den to the southwest.

Stopped here for soup at Campbells Cafe which was great. The Royal Palace (16 century) is impressive too.

East Lomond stands above Falkland and is sometimes known as Falkland Hill. At 434m it's not as high as West Lomond but still offers amazing views and great running. The run up from Falkland is a challenging ascent or you can combine it as a figure of 8 loop with West Lomond from Craigmead car park. On the summit which was once a hill fort there is a trig point and topograph.

Parking can be tricky for this Marilyn, as the lane is narrow. Squeeze on the verge of possible. Waymarked by rights of way signs from the road to the summit.
