Binny Craig, near Uphall, West Lothian, is a small but distinct hill which rises to a height of 221 metres above sea level. The hill has the distinctive crag and tail of a volcanic plug that has been worn away by the movement of glaciers during the ice age, in much the same way as Edinburgh's Castle Rock, twenty miles to the east of here and clearly visible from the top. The views from the top of Binny Craig are superb. To the east, Edinburgh, Arthur's Seat and Berwick Law; to the north-east, the Forth Bridges, Rosyth and Dunfermline; to the north, the Binns, with it's distinctive Folly, and the Ochils beyond; to the north-west, the fires of Grangemouth, Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. Along the north-west horizon, the southern highlands can be seen, including Ben Vorlich, Stùc a Chroin, Ben Ledi, Stob Binnean, Ben More and Ben Lomond.
