With limited availability this is a rare opportunity to hear about and see first-hand the fascinating history of the ancient hillfort situated at the summit of East Lomond.  You will walk across stunning Fife hillside, guided by Joe Fitzpatrick, Chairman of the Falkland Stewardship Trust, who was also the Project Director for the archaeological excavations on East Lomond in 2017, 2019 and 2022. Joe will reveal aspects of the landscape and share the insights of the archaeological excavations which are helping piece together the story of this significant site in Fife’s history.  

Meeting at the East Lomond Mast Car Park you will take in locations on the hillside and hear a range of fascinating insights which will give you an entirely different perspective on what to the unknowing eye looks like ‘just a hill’. At the top of the hill, the views for many miles in all directions will leave you with a sense of why this hill was such an important strategic location in ancient times.

After a 2-hour walk – at a comfortable pace (which will require a reasonable degree of fitness to be enjoyed) – join your guide and fellow participants back at the Falkland Estate for tea or coffee and a cake!
