What is Bonaly?
Bonaly is a 24-acre site to the South of Edinburgh at the foot of the Pentland hills.

The site has both indoor accommodation and camping facilities. Many activities are available both on and off site. From the slopes above the site there is a magnificent panoramic view across Edinburgh to the Firth of Forth and beyond.
