Cuttlehill is a prominent hill located in Fife, Scotland. It is situated near the town of Dunfermline and stands at an elevation of approximately 120 meters (394 feet) above sea level. With its distinct shape and lush green surroundings, Cuttlehill is a notable landmark in the area.

The hill is characterized by its gently sloping sides, making it accessible for hikers and walkers of all abilities. It offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby Lomond Hills and the Firth of Forth. On a clear day, the vista stretches as far as Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills.

Cuttlehill is covered in a mix of grasses, heather, and occasional patches of woodland, providing a rich habitat for a variety of wildlife. It is not uncommon to spot rabbits, deer, and various bird species while exploring the hill.

The hill has a long history, with evidence of human activity dating back thousands of years. It is believed to have been used as a burial ground during the Bronze Age, and remnants of ancient settlements have also been discovered in the vicinity.

Cuttlehill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of recreational activities such as hiking, dog walking, and nature photography. Its accessibility and natural beauty make it an ideal spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy the serene landscape and immerse themselves in the history and charm of Fife.

Roadside woodland It is usually not a good idea to head off piste from a road layby. Today though I got away with it, nothing unpleasant was encountered. The layby has good defences of thorns but there was a way through to the old boundary fence and a woodland which goes back to the building of the A92.

Roadside woodland Watching carefully where I put my feet, I ventured at right angles to the dual carriageway from a layby. The woodland is probably the same age as the road, c.1990.

A92 View from a layby near Lochgelly. The dual carriageway was opened in the early 1990s. The road is usually populated with police speed camera vans. Sadly these do not detect photographers who should be concentrating on their driving not their points score.
