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!!

Great hill to run straight from the start. It climbs about 180 m to the top of Hillend Hill where you can carry on up onto the Pentland Ridge. Awesome descent as well.

The Braid Hills are the most southern of the seven hills which Edinburgh is supposedly built on. The highest point is Buckstone Snab at 208m and there is a second less accessible summit known as the Braids standing at 178m to the north of the area. The circuit around the hills and over Buckstone Snab is a popular walk but can get muddy in wet weather.
