Walks

Take a half hour to walk along the Water of Leith from Stockbridge to the Dean village (which is situated under the Dean Bridge). It's a pretty, leafy walk and you will also see St Bernard's Well along the way. Keep an eye out for the otters!

If you want to avoid the crowds that descend on Arthur's Seat, there are lots of alternative paths in Holyrood park. Or you can walk around a circular paved road which passes two lochs and gives great views over the city and the coastline. The circular walk is 3 or 4 miles with a gradual uphill section.

About 50 minutes drive away is the pretty seaside town of North Berwick. Sandy beaches to walk along, crazy golf and the Scottish Seabird Centre. Pre-book a boat trip to the Bass Rock of Isle of May especially when the sea birds are nesting. Combine with a visit to either Tantallon or Dirleton Castle.
