DISABLED ACCESS

The very nature of the Pentland Hills means that routes, fully accessible to wheelchair users, and others with disabilities, are limited. The Regional Park however is undertaking an audit of all routes and infrastructure, such as gates, stiles and steps, to determine if accessible alternatives are available.

A partially accessible route is available at Harlaw reservoir, which follows the shore of the reservoir. It is of a moderate surface and is reasonably level.

The spillway bridge and main track do reduce this areas' accessibility and prevent us from providing a full circular route around the reservoir.

The toilet at Harlaw visitor centre is accessible.

An accessible fishing jetty is available at Clubbiedean reservoir for bank fishing. Clubbiedean reservoir is situated 1 mile south of Colinton, up Woodhall Road then left into Bonaly Road, passing Torduff reservoir and then go through the wooden gate up to Clubbiedean. It is one of the smaller reservoirs in the hills, but offers fly fishing only, by boat for rainbow and blue trout.

Limited parking is available next to the reservoir, and there are no toilet or indoor facilities.

The season operates from 15th March to the 24th October. The fishery is operated by Dooks Fisheries, who also manage Glencorse.
