Sitting on the very edge of the Pentland Hills, with a great view over Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat to the east, it's a fantastic hike from the city.
From the edge of the city it provides an easily accessible hike in a few hours, with tremendous views on all sides. The going isn't too tough, with decent paths throughout. Enjoy!!
