Update: 07-Jun-2020
Pentland Hills Regional Park has re-opened some of its car parks following their closure in late March. In the Colinton area that is Bonaly car parks (lower - Torduff Road) and secondary car parks at Torphin (bus terminus) and Dreghorn. The upper car park at Bonaly remains closed to allow emergency access to be maintained and to allow for pedestrian social distancing along Bonaly Road south of the Bypass bridge. They recognise that reduced parking and increased visitor numbers will likely cause hotspots. Locally this is expected to be in Bonaly Road / Torduff Road. Local residents are urged to report instances of poor or illegal parking to the police.
