[Dalkeith]

Dalkeith sits just outside the Edinburgh City Bypass, comfortably far enough from the capital to ensure that it retains a reasonable selection of shops and services. As the county capital of Midlothian, there's a pleasant sense of hustle and bustle without any feeling of pretentiousness. A handful of attractive churches and historic buildings confirm the area's long history, though the very centre is blighted by a conspicuous 1960s development which the council might now regret. The main draw for visitors should be Dalkeith Country Park: a charming, mostly wooded estate surrounding Dalkeith House, accessed from the north end of the High Street.

Walk: Dalmahoy Hill - it's the pits!

Image
City of Edinburgh | Kirknewton | Short walk | ★★

If there's a less loved pair of summits in Scotland, we're yet to come across them. These steep-sided, volcanic sills are surrounded by undesirable neighbours - quarries, a waste transfer station, railway line and airfield - and the beginning of this route is uncomfortably close to Ravelrig Tarmac Quarry's entrance. Nevertheless, Dalmahoy Hill sports a trig pillar and wonderful views of the capital and Pentland Hills beyond the noisy pit, while Kaimes Hill boasts an extensive western panorama. The latter summit is a rather dramatic sliver of its former self, its southern slopes having been gouged by quarrying before being re-purposed as a landfill site and finally covered over with suspiciously immaculate grass: an odd place to walk. A high bealach makes combining the two hills straightforward, and the unusual surroundings mean you're fairly likely to get them all to yourself.

Coldstream

Scottish Borders | Town | ★

Coldstream is one of the quieter of the Scottish Border towns, sitting pretty above a meander on the River Tweed with wide views across to the English side. We spent a good hour or so watching a couple of otters fishing in full sight of the riverside path here in 2019. A lack of properly old buildings in the town can be attributed to centuries of marauding armies, and the Battle of Flodden took place just a few miles away at Branxton, ending in a major Scottish defeat. Coldstream is however most frequently associated with the Coldstream Guards - the British Army's oldest continually serving regiment - ensuring that military connections continue to this day. Learn about this and more in the local museum; there's also a nearby country park ideal for a low key stroll.

The Hirsel

Image
Scottish Borders | Coldstream | Park | ★★

The Hirsel is a large country park based around a private Georgian stately home to the west of Coldstream, and makes a rewarding spot for a stroll at any time of year. Hirsel Lake is the highlight, with various species of ducks, geese and swans visible from hides on the south bank and breaks in vegetation on the east side, especially over winter. The main car park is at The Homestead: an attractive courtyard surrounded by arts and craft shops, a tea room and the interesting estate museum.
