About Glencorse

Glencorse lies in Midlothian's countryside, about 15km south of Edinburgh via the A701. This small Pentland Hills community sits near several villages including Auchendinny and Milton Bridge, with good links to the A720 bypass and M8 system. Most visitors are day-trippers from Edinburgh or Pentland Hills tourists, though Edinburgh Airport is 25km northwest. The village stands beside Glencorse Reservoir, a Victorian water supply from the 1820s that still serves the capital.
