This guidebook describes 30 circular walks in Scotland's Pentland
Hills, a range of low summits which extends between Edinburgh and
Biggar in South Lanarkshire. Ranging from 3 to 27km (2-17 miles),
there is something to suit all abilities from the novice to the
experienced hill-walker, with each route showcasing a different
aspect of the area's unique character. Step-by-step route
description is accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping and a wealth of
interesting information on the region's rich natural and cultural
heritage: its geology, history, wildlife and connections with
literary greats such as Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter
Scott. Local place names are explained, local folklore explored and
there is a helpful glossary of dialect terms. The Pentland Hills
can be enjoyed in all seasons. Although the highest summit, Scald
Law, stands at 579m, stunning vistas belie their modest elevation:
this is a region of grass and heather-clad slopes which rise above
picturesque valleys hiding streams and reservoirs. Walking in the
Pentland Hills is an ideal companion to discovering great walking
on Scotland's most accessible hills.
