This section of the Braid Burn lies just south of the A720 Edinburgh
Bypass road beside the path from Laverockdale and the Polo Fields to White
Hill near Bonaly. |
 |
|
In common with the other reservoirs in the Pentland Hills, Bonaly Reservoir
is used for flood control and doesn't supply drinking water. |
 |
|
Capelaw hill overlooks Bonaly Reservoir. |
 |
|
In this view Capelaw is on the left and Allermuir is up to the right. |
 |
|
The metal bench is visible in Google Maps and Google Earth and affords
views to the north towards the Firth of Forth. Part of Corstorphine Hill
is visible on the right. |
 |
|
Cul Mor is an easier climb than Suilven but it's strewn with boulders
in this part. There's no obvious path so it's essential to wear boots. |
 |
|
If you climb up the steep footpath beside the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall
then eventually you'll reach this beauty spot. |
 |
|
For this view of Loch Skeen you'll have to climb the hills at the back
of Loch Skeen. It's best to go clockwise if you're having a circular walk.
Good boots and a change of clothing advised. |

Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair is the name of this stunningly beatiful loch.
A fairly easy walk on the footpath from a small car park midway between
Kinlochewe and Torridon will get you here. |
 |
|
As well as the roof you can see the dome of Edinburgh's Old College,
and further away to the east, North Berwick Law and Aberlady Bay Nature
Reserve. |

A moment frozen in time on a busy Princes Street. It's busy despite being
closed to cars (permanently) and blocked off at the West End (while tram
work goes ahead). |
 |
|
Edinburgh folk have always called drain covers like this one 'sivers'
- but I'm unsure of the spelling as I couldn't find it in any Scots vernacular
dictionaries. I gave this image a psychedelic
treatment. |

|
Photographed from near the summit of Allermuir. From left to right the
hills are Castlelaw, Turnhouse, Carnethy, Scald Law, East Kip, West Kip
and Black Hill. |
 |
|
This view was taken with a longer lens. From the left the hills are Scald
Law, East Kip, West Kip. Black Hill is the higher rounded hill on the right. |
 |
|
Landmarks visible are the triangular shaped North Berwick Law, the new
development at Leith's Western Harbour, and all that remains of Granton
Gasworks. |
 |
|
Photographed from Cramond Island looking back
towards Silverknowes
Esplanade at low tide. The sunlight sparkles on the wet sand.
A wading bird looks for food. |

|
The path in the bottom left foreground is very narrow, not much wider
than your boots. It leads up Caerketton Hill above the skislope and becomes
very steep. Swanston village lies down to the right. In the distance the
sunset is reflected on the Firth of Forth. |
 |
|
Wouldn't you rather be here right now, strolling through this peaceful
landscape..? Turnhouse, Carnethy, Scald Law, East Kip, West Kip,
Black Hill, West and East Cairn Hills can all be plainly seen in this view
from Capelaw. |
