The Pentland Hills - A Walker's Guidebook

The Pentland Hills – a popular, easily accessible range to the south-west of Edinburgh – offer a diversity of landscape as well as a rich natural and cultural heritage. The area's excellent path system, interesting but not too rugged terrain, and proximity to civilisation offer a superb introduction to hill walking in Scotland.
