Carnbee Law is a prominent hill located in the region of Fife, Scotland. Situated near the village of Carnbee, it is a well-known landmark in the area. The hill stands at an elevation of approximately 187 meters (614 feet) and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Carnbee Law is characterized by its distinctive conical shape, which is a result of its volcanic origins. The hill is composed of basalt, a type of volcanic rock, and is part of the larger volcanic complex known as the Largo Law Volcanic System. This system includes several other hills and rocky outcrops in the region.

The hill is accessible to hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, with a network of paths and trails leading to the summit. The ascent is relatively moderate, making it suitable for individuals of various fitness levels. Along the way, visitors can admire the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit the area, including heather, gorse, and various bird species.

Once at the top, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. On clear days, it is possible to see as far as the Firth of Forth and the East Neuk of Fife. The hill also offers a vantage point to observe nearby landmarks, such as the Largo Law and the town of St Andrews.

Carnbee Law serves as a popular destination for both locals and tourists, attracting nature lovers, walkers, and photographers seeking to capture the beauty of the Fife countryside.
