West Lomond and the Devil’s Burdens Walk

Most Fifers are familiar with the loop from Craigmead car park, up East Lomond, and then back to conquer West Lomond, but for some reason, the Devil’s Burdens are often overlooked.

The Devil’s Burdens are a rock formation hidden behind West Lomond – and although it can be a boggy descent from the hills down to the rocks, the views are definitely worthwhile. This will be our lunch stop.

From the Burdens, we’ll head past the Harperleas Reservoir, and back towards the car park.

This should take around 4 hours including lunch.

Afterwards, I would like to invite members to join me for coffee and cake at Loch Leven’s Larder (Channel Farm, Kinross, KY13 9HD) which is on your way back to the M90.
