- If you're looking for a brilliant day-hike to do whilst staying in Edinburgh, then the Pentland Hills have the answer for you. Only a short bus ride, at the small cost of £1.60, from Edinburgh's Princes Street and you are in the mountains with incredible views and sensational hiking trails.
The hike featured in this video is the Flotterstone - Nine Mile Burn hike which is just under 8 miles long and takes in 5 peaks along the way, including the highest peak in the Pentlands, at Scald Law.
If you're lucky to have a clear day, then you will clearly see the city of Edinburgh, the iconic Forth of Firth bridges, North Berwick and beyond as you climb the 5 peaks.
This is a hike well worth doing during your stay in Edinburgh, and a very achievable day-hike from the city meaning you'll be back at your hotel in time for dinner (and a drink).

I'm a fan of day-hikes that you can do from city centres on public transport. I've found a few, in New York, Dubai, Fort William, Los Angeles and now Edinburgh. The Pentland Hills are well worth exploring so I hope you enjoy the guide and put this hike on our list for your next Edinburgh trip! Comment below with any questions, and thanks for watching!

@sportstraveltom I've been wild camping up there since I was 14 and walking there since childhood.

What did you think of this video? Whether you live in Scotland or are visiting, was this video helpful? Let me know!
Incredible. Did you say the whole summit was 2 and a half hours?
Does that include the bus from Edinburgh and the trip back to get your GoPro?
@@mahedyhasan2007 Thanks! 2 & half hours doesn't include the bus journey which takes about 40 minutes. For me it was 2 & a half hours to reach the summit from the hike start point. Hope you can get out there this summer and enjoy it!
Awesome channel mate!!!
