Overview

This walk takes in some of the hills of the Pentlands ridge. Starting from the Flotterstone car park it is planned to climb Turnhouse Hill, Carnethy Hill and Scald Law (573m) and optional South Black Hill. The walk then returns to the last bealach and descends from here towards The Howe. Following the road past Loganlea and Glencorse reservoir we return to the car park.
