Synopsis

This guide is one of the "Walks" series. The easy-to-use spiral bound format has proved to be very popular for walkers and ramblers. There are 40 walks in this guide to walks in historic Edinburgh, its environs and the Pentland Hills. All recognized rights of way across the Pentland Hills are covered by this guide. There are walks in central Edinburgh as well as in the villages and suburbs. They vary from short strolls to more strenuous excursions, and are graded to take into account the distance and type of terrain covered, making it easy to judge which walks are suitable for your level of fitness and experience. Each walk is easily accessible by car or public transport and information is given on this. Round trip distances are given, and walks are illustrated by detailed maps showing the route clearly. There are accompanying step-by-step instructions. Each route is contained within one page or two facing pages, making it unnecessary to turn pages while walking. Features of note, interesting viewpoints and objects connected with history or legend are explained. The first, introductory part of the guide details the history and special characteristics of Edinburgh and the Pentlands as well as giving general advice on countryside walking.
