 The Lomond Hills contain two prominent peaks, West Lomond and East Lomond (or Falkland Hill) (), which lie at either end of an escarpment roughly in length.The escarpment, made from beds of sandstone, limestone and quartz-dolerite, rises gradually from the south to a plateau of around in height between the peaks of East and West Lomond.To the north and west, this plateau terminates in steep and, in places, cliffy scarp slopes.
