Lucklawhill is a hamlet one mile (1.6 km) northwest of the village of Balmullo in Fife, Scotland. Historically, Lucklawhill belonged to the Logie parish.[1]

Lucklaw Hill is located above sea level and marks the eastern extremity of the Ochil Hills. The hill on which it stands is mainly composed of feldspar porphyry, with a summit of compacted feldspar.[1] Late 18th and early 19th century authors wrote that Lucklaw Hill was an ancient hunting park belonging to the Kings of Scotland.[2] [3]
