The Pentlands

These unmistakable hills begin almost in the suburbs of Edinburgh, and they make for a very welcome escape from the city crowds. There are access points to the hills along the A702, but the best two are Snowsports Centre and Flotterstone. At each of these you can find a parking lot, a lovely pub, and quiet walking paths leading up into the hills.
