Pentland Views

Today we went over the Roman Bridge in the Penicuik Estate and climbed up the hill. From there we enjoyed the glorious views over the estate and beyond to the Pentland Hills. Above you see the walled garden just touched by a rare ray of sunlight with the hills behind.

At the top there was another great barley field, now almost ready for harvesting. You can tell it was a very windy day!

It was a wonderful walk, quite a bit longer than usual and I was a bit worried about whether Flora would cope, but in fact she seemed to relish the climb as well as the return journal along the side of the river. We will return and try and venture in the other direction at the top to enjoy more estate views from on high.
