Great site for soaring. Has xc potential but not for huge distances due to the Firth of Tay, Firth of Forth and the North Sea downwind on most XC routes. Airspace considerations on most xc routes from the Hill (Glenrothes airport and Leuchars). Flights of around 30 to 40 km can be done in good conditions. Site takes mainly a West - North West wind direction, but will also easily accomodate a South Westerly wind direction. When speedflying be careful with paragliders and sailplanes occasionaly passing at or below ridge level. Landing at the foot of a gully (nice green fields, but avoid landing there when livestock's present please).

Park in Kinneswood near the primary school taking care not to park too close to the foot of the hill or block the gate at the top of the road! 25min walk up. Takes SW,W and NWrly. Take off is nice... huge flat area at the top and plenty of space for top landing. If in doubt always land in the field at the back of the Lomond Pub. This is the official landing field. 35mins from Edinburgh in the county of Fife. Just head to 'Kinneswood', Fife

Quite often can fly in light wave conditions here. Generally happens in a North Westerly wind direction. Can be quite turbulent occasionally if flying in these conditions. Be aware of variable wind direction on landing during the winter. The dense cold air gets compressed around the Bishops during the winter and you often have to land 90 degrees to the prevailing metwind.
