Crumblie Hill is a prominent hill located in the region of Fife, Scotland. It is situated approximately 2 miles northwest of the town of Cupar, and its summit stands at an elevation of 232 meters (761 feet) above sea level. The hill is part of the Lomond Hills range, which is a collection of peaks that form a distinctive landscape feature in the region.

Crumblie Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby towns, villages, and farmland. On clear days, it is possible to see as far as the River Tay and the city of Dundee to the north, and the Firth of Forth and the city of Edinburgh to the south. The hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers who are attracted by its natural beauty and the opportunity for outdoor activities.

The terrain of Crumblie Hill is characteristically hilly and covered with heather, grasses, and patches of woodland. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, rabbits, and deer. The hill is accessible via several well-marked footpaths, and there is a car park nearby for visitors who prefer to drive.

Crumblie Hill holds historical significance as well. It is rumored to have been a site of ancient settlements, with remnants of Iron Age forts and burial mounds discovered in the area. This adds to the hill's allure, as it provides a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage.
