We have been asked to ensure the following important safety message is shared with everyone:

Please be aware that some of the reservoirs in the Pentland Hills Regional Park have partially frozen over. In these circumstances we ask visitors to take extra care around the reservoirs.

Please DO NOT venture onto the ice and keep dogs off the ice. If someone or a dog has fallen through the ice please dial 999 but DO NOT try and venture onto the ice yourself.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has issued good advice which is helpful and should be followed. Visit http://www.rospa.com/ for further information.
