We went down south today to the county 'Scottish Borders', not the most original name but a stunningly beautiful area with hills, lakes, quaint little villages and sheep wandering along and on the roads. Although it was bright and sunny in Edinburgh the higher hills in the south appeared to have caught the clouds, which was a bit disapppointing but luckily we were treated to some dramatic skies. 
We didn't really fancy a hike with grey skies and a blistering wind, though, so after enjoying all the beautiful scenery and fall colours we made our way back to the good old Pentland Hills.
This picture was taken somewhere along the way, which is part of the 'scenic route' to Edinburgh coming to Scotland via the M6 and then up the 701 near Moffat. Recommended!In the Pentlands we got windblown again, it seems worse there then everywhere else! Besides that we took the wrong route and instead of an easy stroll to the lake we had to climb three summits in the blowing wind! Great views from there though. On the way back we ran into these friendly Highlanders. Well, they looked friendly but we didn't climb the fence to make sure!
