This walk on the edge of Pentland Hills Regional Park will take you through a beautifully undulating landscape close to the Scottish capital. Naturally damp, these moors will sometimes force you to zigzag your way through to keep your feet more or less dry. Lovely views over the surrounding valleys await walkers at the top of the hills. Be careful not to miss the junctions, which are sometimes very poorly signposted, or not signposted at all. You may occasionally need to go over a fence, gate or low stone wall to get back on the right track. Sheep, pheasants, thrushes and black grouse will probably be your only companions along the way!
