A walk in the Northern Pentland Hills
![]() Most of the main "ridge" I did, from right to left West Kip, East Kip, Scald Law, Carnethy Hill and Turnhouse Hill |
![]() From the top of West Kip, looking down to East Kip, South Black Hill, Scald Law and Turnhouse Hill. On the left is Hare Hill which I didn't do, then Blach Hill and Bell's Hill which I did on the way back |
![]() Top of South Black Hill, to Scald Law and Carnethy Hill, with Firth of Forth behind. |
From the top of Carnethy Hill, looking back to South Black Hill, Scald Law and East Kip. |
And to the North East, I could see Berwick Law and Bass Rock, though they are lost in the haze here |
![]() From Turnhouse Hill, looking back to Carnethy Hill, with Loganlea Reservoir below, and Black Hill on the right. |
And to the North, Edinburgh, Forth Road and Rail bridges, and to the left Grangemouth. |
My picture of the hovering hawk isn't really that exciting, but it was impressive to see |
Looking back to Turnhouse Hill from Glencorse |
![]() Once past Glencorse Reservoir the path rose between Harbour Hill and Bell's HIll, giving a nice view out over Penicuik. Turnhouse Hill rising behind the shoulder of Bell's Hill |
![]() From the top of Bell's Hill, with the "ridge" I have done left to right, and Black Hill (route home) on the right. And the sun was shining. |
![]() At last, the top of Black Hill, before the rain came on. Looking to Carnethy Hill, Scald Law and the Kips. |
