There is one silver lining to all the wet weather we have had in the last few weeks - not counting for duck and plants - waterfalls look great.

One pleasant walk to take if you want to see nature in the raw (as long as the rain holds for a couple of hours) is in the Pentlands. Tucked away in a narrow gorge called Green Cleuch is Logan Burn waterfall. As well as looking dramatic, it has an important scientific interest because of the plants which grow around it, such as wood sorrel rock rose and yellow pimpernel.

Bear in mind that in winter the falls can freeze over.

The pleasant walk - which passes by two reservoirs under the highest of the Pentland Hills - takes just over a couple of hours. There are only a couple of inclines and with the exception of a well trodden path at the start and for the last few hundred yards it is on a reservoir access road.

To get there, drive along the A702 south from the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720) and after about three miles turn right, at the Flotterstone Inn. Follow the narrow road beyond the pub to reach a car park next to a visitor centre. Walk along a path behind the visitor centre, parallel to the Glen Road. After 300 yards go through a gate on the left, then go right at a sign post, towards old water filter beds.

Go left when the path reaches the road again and follow it past Glencorse and Loganlea reservoirs. At the end of the reservoirs go round to the right, following a sign to Balerno. The waterfall is few hundred yards further on, on the left. Retrace your steps to the car park.
