hi, i was thinking of going for a hike/walk next weekened, for 2 nights or so. i'm stationed in edinburgh, so somewhere nearby would be good.
i was wondering if anyone could recommend a really picturesque walk/hike?

The Pentland Hills are very handy for Edinburgh - you can start walks at Hillend (the big artificial ski slope overlooking the bypass), or Boghall or the Ranger centre at Flotterstone. Lots of shapely hills or valley/glen walks.
If you buy Explorer map 344 from a bookshop, all will be revealed!

There's a Rob Roy Way which goes from Aberfoyle to Pitlochry - too far for 3 days, but you could just do a chunk of it - details are easily found by a google search. Ive no idea about guidebooks - if there are any, they'll be in your local bookshop along with the maps!
