The Pentland Hills near Edinburgh
Our webcam updates every minute to show the current weather on the Pentland Hills, just south of Edinburgh. Whether you're planning a walk in the Pentlands or staying in one of our holiday cottages, we hope you find it useful.
The webcam is at Westside, the other side of the valley from Eastside. It points towards West Kip (roughly north) with Balerno and Edinburgh behind.
When enjoying the hills please do so responsibly; take a quick look at the Outdoor Access Code beforehand.
Our Holiday Cottages
Our five beautifully converted holidays cottages each sleep either 2 or 4 people. They are right in the heart of the Pentlands on Eastside Farm with incredible views and walking right on the doorstep. The hills literately surround the cottages. If you like the webcam, come and sample the real thing! Remember, we're only a 20 minute drive from central Edinburgh.
Walking in the Pentlands
The Pentland Hills are the ideal getaway for the hillwalker looking for a convenient rural bolthole. The Regional Park's accessibility from Edinburgh makes it perfect for a quick jaunt. However, the spectacular scenery can be challenging enough to warrant longer stays. Eastside Cottages is one of the very few places to stay that is actually in amongst the hills. If you stay with us, no driving or walking along roads is needed.
