April 27, 2025,Hill viewpoint – Bishop's Hill loop from Kinnesswood

Very direct from outset. If not hillfit then just take it slow.

Best planned for a day with good visibility.

August 10, 2021,Holl Reservoir (Leslie, Fife) up Bishop Hill

An easy walk up Bishop Hill. Should have been great views out over Loch Leven but misty at the top (again 😕)
