 At West Lomond is the highest point in the county of Fife.The name "Lomond Hills" was first recorded "Lomondys" in 1315, and may derive from a Pictish cognate of Welsh "llumon", meaning "beacon", an element found for example in the hill-name Pumlumon in Wales.Also suggested is derivation from Gaelic "lom monadh", "bare hill", perhaps adapted from an earlier Pictish name containing cognate elements.
