00:00Harlaw and Threepmuir Reservoirs Circular in the Pentland Hills has been named the
00:05best family walk in Scotland with an overall score of 9.97 out of 10 in a
00:10study conducted by outdoor experts and biologists. Hello I'm here at Harlaw Reservoir
00:15ready to check out Scotland's best family walk. Located just past Balerno
00:21the four and a half kilometer circular trail is considered an easy route and
00:26takes an average of one hour and three minutes to complete. The walk is deemed
00:30child-friendly and is used by many for runs, bikes, rides and walks. Starting off
00:38at Harlaw House Visitor Centre car park we headed out past Harlaw Reservoir and
00:42up towards Threepmuir Reservoir crossing the dam with Harlaw Reservoir on
00:49your left. Once over the dam we turned left and followed the broad well-made
00:54path parallel to the water. Passing woodland we soon reached the end of
00:59Threepmuir Reservoir. So we're now about halfway through the walk here up at
01:03Threepmuir Reservoir. So far so good. The journey continues. Full of pleasant fresh
01:10air in our lungs we even had time for a spot of skimming on the reservoir. We
01:18left those woods behind before heading up a hill into another set of woods.
01:23After crossing the still we then followed the clear path to the right
01:27which led us back to the visitor centre. A great hour and five minutes or so walk
01:33with the family. We're tracing our steps to return to the start at the car park at
01:39Harlaw Reservoir. A great day out and a great walk.
01:45Well that's us done. Scotland's best family walk. A nice little stroll with the family just on the doorstep of the city. A great day out. Just about an hour. Perfect.
