Scald Law Walk
This circular walk climbs to Scald Law in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh. The route also takes in Carnethy Hill and includes a long section along two pretty reservoirs.
The walk starts off from the Flotterstone visitor centre where car parking is available.
From here you can pick up footpaths heading west to take you up to Carnethy Hill and Scald Law which stands at a height of 579 metres. Here you can enjoy some wonderful views over the surrounding hills and countryside.
The route then descends to Loganlea Reservoir and Glencorse Reservoir, where you can enjoy a pleasant walk along the water.

North-western slopes of Scald Law, Pentland Hills. This view is from the Old Kirk Road looking across the valley of the Logan Burn near Loganlea. The Howe and the edge of Black Hill is immediately ahead and to the distant left is the outline of Hare Hill NT 171 619. The road - really a steep and rough track - ascends Scald Law from here and can be followed all the way across the hills to Silverburn and Penicuik NT 235 606. In Victorian times, parishioners from the area would walk this track to attend the Kirk, there being no Sunday service nearer to home.
