Pentlands
How to get there:
Take the A702 from the Edinburgh city bypass and park at the Glencorse Ranger Centre car park at Flotterstone.
The Walk
We will walk up the Turnhouse hill and follow the ridge taking in Carnethy Hill, Scald Law, East Kip and West Kip. We will then have an easy level walk back along the two reservoirs to the car.
Shorter version:
It is possible for those not wanting to climb all hill to retreat to the reservoir after Carnethy Hill shortening the walk.
