We are beginning our tour in Scotland in a few weeks and plan to do some hiking, possibly in the Pentland Hills Park just outside the city. I can find bus information, but where does one catch a bus? We are staying at the Brooks Edinburgh, grove St.

If you are trying to find the Edinburgh coach station: http://coach.nationalexpress.com/nxbooking/stop-finder
Its the diagonal corner NE of St Andrews Square. Coach service to Glasgow was cheaper than the train.
