Pentland Hills in Edinburgh

Pentland Hills is a range of hills just outside the city limits. Its a wonderful place for a nice long walk. There are several reservoirs that are hidden amidst the hills, therefore giving the walk a sense of treasure hunt. We started from Bonaly and walked up the hills for a wonderful view of the city. We reached the Bonaly reservoir which is the smallest of all the other reservoirs in the range. We took off our shoes and jumped in to water. You have no idea how cold it was and how insane we were to do that. This is the first time I did that in the UK. Quick snaps and we were back on the ground. Close to the pond, there was a plantation. Seems like light never touched the ground there, because of the high dense trees. After enjoying the place for a bit we moved on. We found a trail map on our way and explored all interpretations. We wanted to go to Glencorse reservoir but we missed it. We were supposed to go around the Harbour hill. But we climbed it. The ascent was good not tiring. We could see the reservoir we just passed. From the top, we could see Cramond, Inchcolm and the Forth bridges. It was wonderful. We also had a chance to see the sheeps. I saw twins. Promptly took a picture. :) On the top, we rested a while and climbed down. Then we walked to a village called Currie, thru the woods. It was lovely. On one side of the path, it was the woods, and on the other the never ending green fields. That was a wow. We were tired by the time we reached Currie. Water of Leith passed thru Currie and was inviting. But I said.. Next week.. album
