Green
Cleugh 800 x 600 117K |
This will be recognisable by walkers and cyclists. It forms part of a popular walk / mountain bike ride from the south end of Loganlea reservoir to Balerno. |

Green
Cleugh 3 730 x 600 132K |
Looking up towards the west end of Black Hill. Erosion is evident below the heather. Two daisies are in bloom near the path. |
 |
Green
Cleugh 5 800 x 529 78K |
The path at the bottom of the V shaped valley is rather wet and muddy today. This isn't a problem if you have good boots - or manage to keep your balance when cycling. |

Green
Cleugh 7 1024 x 768 178K |
This north view from the top of East Kip shows the entire length of Green Cleugh. Threipmuir reservoir is visible at the end of the valley. |
 |
Greystone Head 05 1152 x 864 158K |
The path along this ridge leads from North Esk Reservoir to the more popular walks near West Kip. This is the view south towards Carlops - which lies somewhere below in the mist. |
 |
Harbour
Hill 1024 x 768 93K |
Dark clouds to the north-east but the sun is still shining on Harbour Hill, between Maiden's Cleugh and Bonaly Reservoir. |
 |
Hare
Hill 1024 x 768 179K |
Looking north over the crater at the summit of Hare Hill, we can see Threipmuir Reservoir and Red Moss nature reserve. Dalmahoy Hill is in the middle distance on the left. |
 |
Harlaw 686 x 600 81K |
Harlaw Reservoir and Scots Pine trees reflected by the water's surface. |
 |
Hillend
View 1152 x 864 103K |
Perspective causes parallel rays of sunshine to appear to fan out. A hole in the cloud allows a spotlight effect to shine on the rooves of some distant buildings. |
 |
Hillend 1152 x 864 168K |
Photographed from Easter Craiglockhart Hill. At the bottom of the picture the path from Swanston Village leads up through the trees and past the 'T Woods'. The artificial ski slope is on the left. Three hillwalkers can be seen beside the cairn at the top of the hill. |
 |
Hillend Path 06 1280 x 851 370K |
In the previous picture it's possible to make out the path up the hill above the ski slope. This is what that path looks like when climbing it early on a November morning. It's only as wide as a pair of boots. |
 |
Hillend Path 07 1280 x 851 367K |
This second shot on the path is looking back down to the top of the ski slope. The early morning autumn sunshine shows off the T Woods. The A720 Edinburgh Bypass is in the distance. |
 |
Howden Glen Mist 1280 x 1024 170K |
The footpath along the north side of Capelaw normally affords good views of the city but this morning the mist is lapping at the hills and Edinburgh is hidden. Down below, the sun is shining on the track up Howden Glen. |
