Corstorphine Hill

Here is Corstorphine Hill, close to where I live.

There are traditionally said to be seven hills in Edinburgh, of which Corstorphine Hill is one. This references the seven hills of Rome, but this figure is debatable, and as the city has expanded, even more so. It is a long ridge shaped hill, mostly forested ("Corstorphine Woods") with broad leaves, and has extensive development on its south side, including Edinburgh Zoo. Much housing has been built on the lower slopes, and houses in other parts of the city have been built using stone quarried from Corstorphine Hill.

The hill is a local nature reserve, and is always worth a wander round.

Well it is Friday tomorrow, hurrah!
