글렌코스 저수지 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Breathtaking view of the Glencorse reservoir, all on the mountainside...top!

The Pentland Hills (a range of hills south of Edinburgh) offer countless hiking opportunities. One of the "best" (= the northernmost) is Allermuir Hill. There are many paths up the mountain, but the best route is undoubtedly the panoramic route from the Midlothian Snowsports Center parking lot to the summit. The center is...???...interesting... (Skiing on mats in the summer is also possible!), and the summit offers magnificent views in all directions!

It's breathtakingly beautiful here! :-)

Stunning views. Path gets very gravelly so care needed if you are less experienced off-road

This path leads to and from Glencorse Reservoir, offering breathtaking views of the water and surrounding hills. The route takes you past a serene forest on one side and a charming stone wall on the other.

This is one of the most prominent hills of the Pentland Hills. You have superb views toward Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth, and on clear days, even the Fife and Scottish Highlands. The walk to the summit is moderate, and you'll be walking through diverse landscapes from grassy slopes to more rugged and rocky sections near the top.

Nestled amongst the Pentland Hills, Glencorse Reservoir is incredibly picturesque. It was built between 1820 and 1824 to provide water to mills in the area and supply drinking water to Edinburgh. Today, the reservoir still supplies water to 450,000 people. The reservoir was created by constructing a dam, which is 77 feet (23.5 m) at its highest point.

Good for any weather
