Lucklawhill is a very small place, like a tiny village, located in Fife, Scotland. It's about one mile (1.6 km) northwest of a village called Balmullo. A long time ago, Lucklawhill was part of an older area known as the Logie parish.
Discovering Lucklaw Hill
Lucklaw Hill is a special hill that stands about 190 meters (623 feet) above sea level. It marks the very eastern end of the Ochil Hills, which are a range of hills in central Scotland.
What is Lucklaw Hill Made Of?
The hill itself is mostly made of a type of rock called feldspar porphyry. This is a kind of igneous rock, which means it was formed from cooled lava or magma. The very top of the hill is made of a more solid, packed version of feldspar.
A Royal Hunting Ground?
Some writers from the late 1700s and early 1800s believed that Lucklaw Hill was once an ancient hunting park. They thought it belonged to the Kings of Scotland many centuries ago. Imagine kings hunting wild animals here long, long ago!
