Remove heath tag from pentland hills as most of the enclosed land is not heath, and the heath extends to the south. Also add nature reserve and protected_area

I don't think the Pentland Hills Regional Park is a leisure=nature_reserve, as it is not managed primarily for conservation. I think boundary=protected_area and protection_class=7 is enough.

Comment from GinaroZ
It seems like all 3 of Scotland's regional parks have been tagged as nature reserves - perhaps as the boundary=protected_area tag on its own doesn't render on the standard layer?
Don't know if boundary=national_park would be appropriate or only for use on Cairngorms/Loch Lomond? -
Comment from mountainmonkey
Yes that probably is the reason it's been tagged as a nature reserve. So the follow on question is does the boundary of a Regional Park need to appear on a general purpose map? Other landscape designations e.g. national scenic areas, forest parks don't seem to appear (and/or have not been mapped).

I'd probably say yes - given they cover a decent area (108, 35 and 25 sq mi) and are fairly important as a step below national parks. Plus there's only 3 of them.
While we wait for regional_park to be rendered, the other option is to change them to national park instead of nature reserve, as they have been declared as such by the government (mentioned in the wiki) - or just leave them?
Some AONBs seem to have been tagged in England and NI, though perhaps wrongly as national parks?

Comment from SK53
At least one NSA (Small Isles) has been mapped as a National Park (I did it & for a long time it featured on worstofosm): it was the only NSA where it was feasible to define the boundaries at the time. I think in general both NPs & AONBs get the national_park tag in E&W. I agree that it's not altogether satisfactory, and having 3 categories in Scotland (NP, NSA & RP) makes that worse. I think the designation tag has been used to help discriminate between the various types.
