Welcome to Portmoak Car Park
A vital community resource nestled beneath Bishop Hill overlooking Loch Leven. Free for walkers, cyclists, local families, and visitors from across Scotland — funded entirely through voluntary community upkeep and local business fence sponsorships.
Kinnesswood, Loch Leven
Free parking access point for the Bishop Hill path, Portmoak Moss nature reserve, and Michael Bruce heritage trail.
Why Portmoak Car Park Matters
Managed with pride by the Kinnesswood Development Trust to support locals, sustain rural infrastructure, and welcome tourists responsibly.
1. Visitor Gateway to Trails
Kinnesswood is one of Scotland's prettiest villages. Our car park keeps narrow residential streets clear while welcoming thousands of walkers, dog owners, and naturalists climbing Bishop Hill.
- Direct access to Bishop Hill footpath
- Minutes from Portmoak Moss peat bog
- Free cycle racks & bin facilities
2. Upkeep & Clean Ground
It is free to park, but gravel resurfacing, bin emptying, weed management, hedge trimming, and boundary maintenance cost money. A suggested £2 to £5 per visit ensures we never need barriers or parking meters.
Quick contactless card or phone donations via on-site signage QR code.
3. Wooden Fence Sponsorship
We are replacing the boundary fence and inviting local Scottish businesses to become Founding Supporters. Have your business name and scan-to-visit QR code engraved directly in solid wood.
