Heritage background, architectural provenance & visitor guide

Fife's Highest Summit Peaks

Dominating the skyline of central Fife, East Lomond (448m) and West Lomond (522m) are ancient volcanic necks that formed during the Carboniferous period, steepened by glacial scouring.

Iron Age Fort and Maspie Den Gorge

At the summit of East Lomond lie the earthworks of a formidable Iron Age hillfort and Pictish stronghold. Scenic footpaths connect down to Falkland village through the magical Maspie Den mossy waterfall ravine.
