Covering: Penicuik, Auchendinny, Milton Bridge, Glencorse, Howgate, Nine Mile Burn.
The local landmark: The ruined Palladian mansion of Penicuik House sits in its estate on the edge of town, with the Pentland Hills rising behind.
On the ground: Stone terraces and flats around the town centre, large postwar and modern estates on the slopes, and farms on rural lanes towards the Pentlands. Kerbside works well here: have everything at the door and the driver loads.
While you wait for the van: Penicuik's name comes from the Cumbric for hill of the cuckoo, and the town later became one of Scotland's great papermaking centres on the River North Esk.
