Overview

linear from Flotterstone to Greenbank. We will start by walking past the old filter beds and then head up to Castlelaw. From here the walk contours clockwise round the side of Castlelaw Hill on the Glencorse View track (coffee) before climbing up to meet the broad track below Allermuir Hill. Short but steep path up to Allermuir (lunch on the way down) and then down to Swanston where the walk will join the Robert Louise Stevenson path to Greenbank.

Edinburgh Group Grade: B
