PENTLAND HILLS |
Pentland Hills |
Sir George Clerk, Bart. [Baronet], Penicuik House
Revd. [Reverend] S. Moncrieff, Penicuik Manse |
|
A range pf lofty hills or mountains commencing in the locality where the counties of Lanark, Peebles and Midlothian approach each other and running in a north easterly direction into Edinburghshire at an elevation of 1600 or 1700 feet above the sea at Leith. They terminate upon the farm of Hillend in the north western extremity of Lasswade Parish. The surface is generally smooth heathy and grassy moorland affording good pastorage for sheep. The geological formation of this range as far as has been ascertained is in general whinstone and granite, with other specimens of primitive rock and great portions of gravel. The range after entering the Parish of Penicuik takes the character of a group with several passes or valleys intervening. The principal of which is the vale through which Logan Burn meanders. "Harper's Rig" Scald Law and Carnathy Hill are the highest of the components of the range, the latter being the loftiest hill in Midlothian. |

About a mile below its source a large reservoir has lately been formed upon it, by the proprietors of the paper and other mills along its course, for reserving a supply of water for times of drought. 10 paper mills are worked by this water between Pennicuik and Musselburgh, the trade of which has fostered the growth of the flourishing villages of Lasswade, Loanhead and Penicuik., after passing the town of Dalkeith below the Ducal palace of Buccleuch, it is joined by the River South Esk, and from thence runs into the sea under the name of the "River Esk". Upon its margin the ruins of many venerable and celebrated edifices are yet in being, the pricpal of which is Roslin Castle and Chapel, most superb specimens of gothic architecture in the Kingdom. "Brunston Castle", "Woodhouselee" and "Ravenshook" still ivy mantled indices of the past greatness of Scotland. |
