Maps

The maps in this guide are taken from the Ordnance Survey Landranger (1:50,000) series. The information box at the start of each walk gives details of the relevant OS Landranger and Explorer (1:25,000) maps for that walk. For all the walks in this guidebook you will need the following:

 Landranger 65 (Falkirk and West Lothian)

 Landranger 66 (Edinburgh)

 Landranger 72 (Upper Clyde Valley)

 Explorer 344 (Pentland Hills)

Map references beginning NT and followed by six figures will be found in the walk instructions. These are included to locate the exact start point of each route and to assist with navigation along the way.

Times

An approximate time needed to complete the route is also given in the information box. These times have been calculated using Naismith’s Rule of 4km/hour, plus 1 minute for every 10m of ascent. Some walkers will be faster, others slower, and the times do not allow for lunch breaks or other stoppages.

The information box also includes: Start/Finish, Distance, Ascent and Maps.
