The Hills of Edinburgh: A circular walk from Waverley Station with outstanding views over the Firth of Forth and the Pentland Hills
It is said that Edinburgh was originally built on seven hills, in a sort of homage to the Seven Hills of Rome. However, the fact that there are more than seven hills in Edinburgh gives rise to the debate as to which hills are included in the named seven. For this hike, together with Tilly, we have included the six that are the most accessible and make the best hiking route. They are all within the main city, and have fantastic views stretching across it to the Firth of Forth and beyond.
