Local Walk - Pentland Hills

Today was our first visit to the Pentland Hills, just south of Edinburgh. The Hills are yet another wonderful space for walking that is only about a 20 minute bus ride from downtown Edinburgh. Today's walk was about 12km, hilly and slightly wet and muddy. Our guide book referred to it as 'Bonnie Bonaly and the Reservoirs' and it started, and ended, in the suburb of Bonaly, in addition to passing by several reservoirs. It was a great escape from the city with some wonderful views as shown in the photos below. And if you look closely at the pic with the dyke (wall) in the foreground, you'll notice the small white and black dots on the side of the hill - they are indeed some sheep and cows.
