Pentland Hills - Scotland

West Linton is a village lying in the Pentland Hills just south west of Edinburgh City Centre, within an area of Great Landscape Beauty.

The marvelous thing about this area is its countryside, unspoiled and yet within range of Edinburgh, the Scottish Borders and Clyde Valley which has a wonderful fruit growing climate, Fife and East Lothian with its many beaches.

There is a multitude of sports available in the area from mountain biking at Glentress near Peebles, horse riding, walking, fishing and many wonderful gardens, castles and historic homes to visit also.

There is something for everybody to do, and if you just want to chill out and not travel far you can climb Mendick Hill behind Slipperfield just outside West Linton, and see for miles and miles (or you can take the drove road which is wonderfully flat, and walk towards Edinburgh or London!)

What are you waiting for? Come and see this little oasis and visit hideaway estate.
