From Spittal Farm, west of Ninemileburn, the signposted public right-of-way leads up here, before descending again to North Esk Reservoir. The farmer is giving the sheep some kind of dietary supplement.
The main Pentland Ridge. From left to right the hills are Turnhouse, Carnethy, Scald Law, East Kip and West Kip.
This morning there's mist lapping over Turnhouse Hill as a result of the haar drifting off the North Sea.
Behind Blackhill just right of centre is East Cairn Hill and the edge of Harperrig Reservoir.
Taken from the same spot on top of Caerketton as Caerketton Misty 08 and featuring the same fence. It's a fine clear evening and this time the camera is facing south west across the glen and along the main ridge.
For comparison
From near the summit of Allermuir the ground drops away quite steeply in this wide angle view of the ridge.
Receding into the distance the hills are as follows, starting at the right: Capelaw, Harbour Hill, Bell's Hill, Black Hill. The pointed hill in the left distance is West Kip. East Kip is to its left and the flat top of Scald Law is at the left edge of the picture.
Those people who have climbed Allermuir will recognise this view of the ridge with the old WD marker stone at the fence's corner.
Absolutely nothing to do with the 'swinging sixties' or the Permissive Society. This path is between Torduff and Clubbiedean Reservoirs and leads up to the main path to Bonaly Reservoir.
Photographed from Capelaw. The War Department Sign is just visible at the top left of the picture. After that the path descends to Glencorse Reservoir and the entrance to Kirkton Farm.
The next two shots are also photographed from Capelaw. Two mountain bikers are negotiating their way between the puddles on the path in November 2008.
Walkers are silhouetted against the shadowy hillside of Turnhouse Hill.
The slope in the foreground is the southern edge of Capelaw. Harbour Hill lies across the other side of the valley. Glencorse Reservoir is visible to the left of Turnhouse Hill.
When it falls apart it'll be missed by walkers trudging up the hill from Glencorse.
It was the cumulous clouds which caught my eye. The picture was taken from Phantom's Cleugh. The valley to the left behind the tree is Maiden's Cleugh.
The path down to Glencorse Reservoir. The rusty old War Department notice is just visible.
Previously photographed from the Font Stone. This is Quarrelburn Reservoir near Silverburn. In the 1950s my father and brother and I swam here and sailed in an ex-WD rubber dinghy.
A closer look at the hill on the right above the reservoir. Cottongrass is growing in the damp hollow below the tufted clumps of grass.
Photographed from near the fontstone on Monks Rig. The trees at the back follow the valley of the North Esk. Near Penicuik House some trees have been felled.
An infrared study of Quarrelburn Reservoir. In the '50s my dad would drive his Humber Super Snipe up here and we'd go swimming and sailing on our ex-WD rubber dinghy.
Red Road is the name given to the path between West Kip and the Balerno area on the OS map. Hare Hill lies to the right in this view. It was unusually busy on Saturday 17th March 2012.
An unusually warm end of March caused a heat haze to form. The view from Allermuir shows the hills fading into the distance.
The path from Bonaly to Glencorse after June and July's wet weather in 2012. Capelaw is on the left and Harbour Hill on the right. Photographed in infrared.
Photographed in Phantom's Cleugh. It's a Cinnabar Moth.
Photographed from the path on Capelaw's west side.
