We are the Biggar Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a classic Pentlands Walk from Flotterstone to Nine Mile Burn. Cars will be parked at Nine Mile Burn and the bus taken to Flotterstone for the start of the walk. There will first be a steady climb up to Turnhouse Hill, followed by an easier section on to the foot of Carnethy Hill, there will then be another climb up to Carnethy Hill, from where wonderful views open up as far as North Berwick to the East and the Forth Bridges and Fife to the North. There will then be a descent to The Grain Burn and the Old Kirk Road which used to be used by worshippers going to church. The walk now continues with three more good climbs up Scald Law, East Kip and West Kip. The final part of the walk is over Cap Law, passing the ancient Font Stone, arriving back at the parked cars at Nine Mile Burn.
This is a lovely walk along well marked paths. There are some steep climbs along the way, but plenty of breaks will be taken to 'take in the views'! Poles are strongly recommended.
