    Very picturesque 5k walk around Threipmuir Reservoir in Pentland Hills. Open all week, wild camping possible. Free car park with a suggested donation of £2.00.

      Threipmuir Reservoir was dammed and formed between 1843 and 1848. It was constructed to provide water for Edinburgh.
        A peaceful walk around the loch and a proper sun trap in the summer.
