Inchlaw or Lucklaw, a hill in the E end of Logie parish, NE Fife, 4 miles S of Newport. It chiefly consists of yellow felspar porphyry, very hard, and susceptible of a fine polish; but its summit is composed of flesh-red felspar. Said to have been a hunting-ground of the Scottish kings, when residing at Falkland or St Andrews, and therefore sometimes called the King's Park, it rises to an altitude of 626 feet above sea-level, and commands an extensive view, particularly towards the N.Ord. Sur., sh. 49, 1865.
