The Pentland Hills (Scotland)
The eastern end, near Edinburgh. The distinct hill with a sharp peak (the last one) is West Kip. Before it is East Kip and then Scald Law. The curve in front is Capelaw Hill.

Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
