The Pentland Hills - South West Edinburgh
|
Starting at a small village called Flotterstone on the A702
just south of Edinburgh at the
Pentland Hills Ranger Centre
take a fine eight hour walk around the Hills. A circular walk
taking in Turnhouse and Carnethy Hills, Scald Law and a low
level walk along the Loganlea and Glencorse Reservoirs,
returning to the starting point of the
Pentland Hills
Walks. |

The
Pentland Hills do not have the ruggedness of the highlands and are
gentler on the feet and not as taxing. Fine views north and
south from any of the Pentland hills keep the attention span going.
There is a military firing range nearby so care should
be taken when the red flags are showing, meaning some
parts of the
Pentland Hills
Walks are out of bounds. |
