 Lammermuir Hills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lammermuir Hills or Lammermuirs (sometimes still spelt with their earlier name of Lammermoors), in southern Scotland, form a natural boundary between Lothian and the Scottish Borders.
The hills are nowhere especially high, the highest points being Meikle Says Law at 535 m and the Lammer Law at 528 m, but steep gradients, exposure to the elements and a lack of natural passes combine to form a formidable barrier to communications between Edinburgh and the Borders.
Two ranges of hills in New Zealand, the Lammermoor Range and Lammerlaw Range are named after the Scottish hills and their second highest point respectively.

 Information about Edinburgh - capital city of Scotland: Kings Manor Hotel
It is set in a spectacular natural environment with hills to the north and south, water to the north and east and lowland landscape to west and east.
The very heart of the city is dominated by ancient volcanic plugs that today form Corstorphine and Calton hills, Arthur's Seat and Castle hill.
Based on this natural splendour the architecture of the city gives you the best – and some of the worst – buildings from the 15th century onwards, the 10-storey flats from the 18th century, the Georgian elegance of the new town, the Victorian gothic of the city chambers.
