Situation Fallhills Steading is located to the south of Edinburgh on the outskirts of the conservation village of Howgate with panoramic views of the Moorfoot and Pentland Hills. Its setting provides the best of both worlds, being rural yet within easy reach of the professional and cultural hub of Edinburgh. Edinburgh offers a full range of services which are complemented by the nearby towns of Penicuik (2.5 miles) and Peebles (13 miles) with their superb local facilities, including shops, post offices, restaurants and leisure centres with swimming pools. The local school bus stops at the end of the private road providing transport to the schools in Penicuik. Amongst a number of local restaurants in the area there is the well regarded Howgate Restaurant and Bistro. The property is in a particularly accessible position, well situated for access to the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720), the city centre (11 miles) and for routes to the south. The bypass is approximately 6 miles to the north and gives access to the south, east and west of the city, Edinburgh International Airport and the motorway network. The A701 provides a direct link to the M74 to the south. There is an excellent bus service from Penicuik to central Edinburgh. The nearest train station is Eskbank (8 miles) which is on the Scottish Borders Railway route and has a direct service to Edinburgh Waverley. Fallhills Steading is ideally positioned for outside recreation. The Pentland Hills Regional Park is popular for walking, mountain biking and fell running alike, and is home to the Midlothian Ski Sports Centre. To the south, close to Peebles and Innerleithen, there are further mountain biking trails within the 7stanes network. There are a number of local golf courses including Glencorse, Peebles and West Linton, with all the links courses of East Lothian easily accessible via the Edinburgh City Bypass. Description 6 Fallhills Steading is a semi-detached house on two floors. The accommodation is bright and airy and well laid out (see floor plans). The large sitting room has an open fireplace with French doors that open into the Mozolowski and Murray conservatory. The conservatory, which also links to the dining room, has wooden fitted blinds and opens onto the garden. The Clive Christian kitchen has a generous selection of wall, base and glazed units set around a central island, all with granite worktops. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. By the window, overlooking the garden, is a Belfast sink with granite worktop drainer. A gas fired AGA with electric companion module and gas fired hob provides versatile cooking options. The kitchen benefits from underfloor heating and there is a door into the garage. On the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms. The master bedroom, with superb views to the Pentlands, has an en suite with double shower and deluge showerhead, WC, and basin. The family bathroom has a freestanding bath and separate shower and on the ground floor there is a cloakroom off the hall. Outside there is a parking area by the garage. Large enough for one car, the garage provides good storage space and also has a door into the garden. There is a shared car parking area for visitors. The front garden has a path leading to the front door bordered with gravel and flower beds. To the rear, the principal garden is fully enclosed and has access from both the house and the lane. It has a large lawn and a patio area with lovely views over the open countryside. Directions From Edinburgh City Bypass follow signs to Penicuik (A701 or A703). At the Gowkley Moss roundabout take the Penicuik (A701) exit and after a short distance take the left hand slip road, signposted to Auchendinny (B7026).

Old farm buildings on a Pentland hillside Answer at the foot of Page 6 It’s Our Arthur! Readers of the Edinburgh News in August may have seen an article titled “Hard-working Arthur Helps Steer Festival”. It starts: “Council chiefs have paid tribute to one of Midlothian Outdoor Festival’s most dedicated volun- teers…..” referring, of course, to Arthur McKenzie, well known in our circles as ever-present on work parties and regular Pentlands walker. It ends with a quote from Arthur – “I’d climb the walls if I had to stay in and watch day- time telly.” From a man in his mid-eighties this is inspirational! Editorial This edition of Pentland Post will be my last as editor, and is, in fact a joint effort by my replacement, Peter Moore, and myself. Peter will assume the role of editor next year, mainly responsible for this magazine and the production of our calendar. Thanks to all who have supported me over the last five years, especially John Stirling and Ian Combe, both regular suppliers of excellent material. Con- tributions from members for this magazine are what make it a good read, so, on Peter’s behalf, I ask you all to consider sending in articles and photographs for May 2020.
