Where: Five Sisters Bing, 231m/758', P 73m, Tump, OS 65, NT 00750 64052
I've climbed the Five Sisters ridge in Kintail a couple of times; you couldn't get much different with the Five Sisters bing in West Lothian. Here it is.....
I parked on the road to the north beside the entrance to what seemed to be a woodland walk; the entrance to the bing was a couple of hundred yards to the north. There was evidence of cows in the field although no sign of them today. The sides of the bing(s) were very steep but fortunately there were more gentle slopes to the east side. The highest, and the Tump top, was no. 2, counting from the north. There were signs of a path lower down but it was make your own way through broom and hawthorn higher up. The high point was particularly difficult to reach.....
From slightly lower down, I got a view of the three southern bings.....
and a view of bing number one.....
Although there wasn't a path up the highest bing, there was up the northern one. It was also clear of vegetation so of course I went up. Not a bad view looking to the Pentland hills.....
