Overview

Curious about hill walking? Come and give it a go! 

Join us for a relaxed 5-mile circular walk over Harbour Hill in the Pentland Regional Park. It may be one of the smaller hills, but the views are big - taking in the Pentland Ridge and Glencorse Reservoir. 

While this is a friendly, leisurely-paced walk aimed at newcomers and those wanting to build hill fitness (the only way to get hill fit is to get out in the hills!) anyone who just simply wants to get out in the hills for an easy hill walk is welcome to come along too. 

We’ll take our time, enjoy the climb, and stop at the summit for a drink and snack while soaking up the views.
