Had to be a taxi driver to Edinburgh and back to Perth and there was a bit of a wait in between so decided to head for Flotterstone for a wander in the fantastic weather so as not to waste it. Got there at 10:15am and the car park was not as busy as I've seen it surprisingly. It has been done up a bit since my last visit too, more tarmac, designated parking places and more signage. Just booted up and headed out. First decision was Scald Law or something I'd never walked. Walked past the exit for Scald Law and along side the reservoir. Kept going till I reached the right of way going over the hill towards Currie. Bell's Hill looked a good vantage point for the view back over the reservoir and the hills around Scald Law. So the right of way it was. Plenty of stones on the track, nice and sharp, so picked my path carefully over them. Bikers had skidded a stone free path through it a little further up so it wasn't too bad a walk. Out in the sunshine now, nice breeze. Up to the boundary dyke, the path up Bell's Hill clear, a worn one through the grass and heather. Straight forward walk to the top and view 360 degrees was worth it. An early lunch as I soaked up the view.

Walked back down to the dyke, then up and over Harbour Hill with a view of another reservoir.

Down to the junction with paths going in every direction. I took the one going down to where I started the right of way. Easier walking than the right of way, just a worn path. Great views all round too.

Nice 3 hours spent. Back to being a taxi once more.
