Goatmilk Hills, located in Fife, Scotland, is a range of hills that stretches across the central part of the county. Situated approximately 15 miles northwest of the town of Kirkcaldy, this range is a prominent feature of the landscape and offers stunning views of the surrounding area.

The Goatmilk Hills, also referred to as the Goatmilk Mountain Range, are part of the larger Ochil Hills that extend into other regions of Scotland. With an average height of around 500 meters (1,640 feet), these hills provide a picturesque backdrop for the nearby towns and villages.

The name "Goatmilk Hills" is derived from the abundance of wild goats that used to roam the area. Although the goats are no longer present, the name has stuck and is now synonymous with the range.

The hills are characterized by their rolling slopes and lush green vegetation, which makes them a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers. Numerous trails and paths wind through the hills, allowing visitors to explore and appreciate the natural beauty of the area.

In addition to their natural beauty, the Goatmilk Hills also have historical significance. The remains of ancient settlements, burial mounds, and stone circles can be found scattered throughout the range, providing a glimpse into the area's rich past.

Overall, Goatmilk Hills in Fife offer a unique blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and historical significance. Whether it's hiking, photography, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this range of hills has something to offer for everyone.

Approach to Fife Airport The side road left leads to Fife Airport. The circular sign advertises the Airport restaurant, the 'Tipsy Nipper', named, not after an inebriated youngster, but after the first aeroplane owned by the flying club, a single-seat machine known as a Nipper, manufactured by the Belgian Tipsy aircraft company.
