Description

Step into the wild beauty of Edinburgh, Scotland, with a guided hike through the breathtaking Pentland Hills. This half-day adventure lets you discover the region’s rugged landscapes, just a short distance from the city center, and is perfect for anyone craving a taste of the Scottish Highlands without leaving the capital.

Your local expert will lead you along scenic trails, sharing fascinating insights into the area’s unique flora, fauna, and geology. As you climb to the highest peak in the northern Pentlands at 493 meters, you’ll enjoy sweeping views over Edinburgh, the Lothians, and even as far as the Borders and Fife.

Keep your eyes peeled for iconic Highland cows, sheep, deer, and nesting birds as you explore around 8 to 10 kilometers of marked and unmarked trails. Along the way, you’ll pass tranquil Scottish lochs and reservoirs, with plenty of breaks to soak up the scenery and snap photos.

This experience includes an all-day bus ticket for convenient travel to and from the hills, as well as complimentary snacks and water to keep you energized. The hike is suitable for those with moderate fitness, and your guide will ensure the pace is comfortable for everyone in the group.

Finish your adventure around lunchtime, with a short bus ride returning you to the city center. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable opportunity to see Edinburgh’s wild side—secure your spot now and experience the Pentland Hills like a true local!
