Little Hill is a small hill located in the region of Fife, Scotland. Situated in the eastern part of the country, Little Hill is a prominent feature of the local landscape. It is part of a range of hills known as the Lomond Hills, which stretch across the central region of Fife.

With an elevation of approximately 390 meters (1,280 feet), Little Hill is not particularly high compared to other mountains in Scotland. However, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area, including the picturesque countryside, nearby villages, and the Firth of Forth.

Little Hill is characterized by its rolling slopes and rocky terrain, which make it a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The hill is covered in patches of heather and grass, providing a vibrant and colorful landscape during the warmer months. Its well-defined paths and trails make it accessible to both experienced hikers and casual walkers.

The summit of Little Hill provides panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby towns of Falkland and Glenrothes. On clear days, it is even possible to see as far as Edinburgh and the Forth Bridges. The hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, hares, and various bird species.

Little Hill is easily accessible by road, with several parking areas available at the base of the hill. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a peaceful and natural escape from the bustle of everyday life.

Entrance to the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. Occupying a stunning site overlooking the bridge over the Forth, the large notice advertises:
"FABULOUS WEDDINGS
Stunning Wedding Suite
Views of the Forth and Famous Bridges
Fantastic Packages and Incentives available"
One can't help wondering - if incentives of any sort are needed, should the couple really be getting married at all?
