Popular and shapely near the Edinburgh end- wild, monolithic and empty in the western quarter. A dream date for hill-walkers and so lucky to be within reach on a day trip by car, bus or train.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-78301684319230273602018-03-24T09:52:43.694+00:002018-03-24T09:52:43.694+00:00I had a few forays into the Pentlands when my mate...I had a few forays into the Pentlands when my mate lived in Edinburgh but not nearly enough.

The week after we were much higher up and it was dangerous/grim/challenging/adventurous<br />and potentially life-threatening. Enjoyable as an occasional thrill to see if I can still cut it at that level but smaller hills have far less pain and misery attached to their ascent. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-37539956414569476962018-03-23T02:25:34.754+00:002018-03-23T02:25:34.754+00:00Beautiful photos, makes me wish I could see it in ...Beautiful photos, makes me wish I could see it in person.<br /><br />Enjoyed the video very much.

Wish that I'd realised earlier in life what little gems there are rather than tramping up the same Munros time after time! The west end of the Pentland's is a really nice area, Black Mount is a superb viewpoint. Still got some others to do around there.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521811229603749067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-52803642212709101742018-03-22T13:25:39.161+00:002018-03-22T13:25:39.161+00:00Hi Ian,
