Pentland Hills Regional Park

About this park

Pentland Hills Regional Park offers a truly spectacular setting for dog walking, with rolling hillsides and breathtaking views just a stone's throw from Edinburgh. It's a fantastic spot to stretch your legs and let your furry friend explore the great outdoors. You'll find a variety of paths, from gentle strolls to more challenging hikes, catering to all fitness levels. Remember to keep an eye on the ever-changing Scottish weather and dress appropriately! While the scenery is magnificent, it's crucial to be aware that the park is a working landscape with plenty of sheep and other livestock. It's really important to follow the signage and guidance provided, especially regarding keeping your dog on a lead when near farm animals. The park's website has some excellent advice on responsible dog ownership here, emphasising the need for good recall and vigilance. Let's all do our bit to protect the wildlife and livestock, ensuring everyone can enjoy this beautiful area. Parking facilities are available at various access points, but it's always a good idea to check specific car park details before you go, as some can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. While the park is vast and more natural, some areas might have waste bins, but it's best to be prepared to take your rubbish and dog waste home with you. Public conveniences might be limited, so planning ahead is wise. Enjoy your visit to this stunning piece of Scotland!
