Overview

Meeting at Pentland View Carpark, ready to leave at 9am, we will cross the road and walk to the Water of Leith where we will turn right up to Poets Glen. We will then take the Ranges Road to Maidens Cleugh, then a left turn over Harbour Hill to Bonaly reservoir. 

Walking downhill, passing Torduff reservoir, we turn right onto Woodhall Road. Progressing under the Bypass to Colinton, we will walk downhill to Spylaw park, returning to Currie along the Water of Leith.
