Walking Leith to Barnton, Edinburgh

Visorando Member
↔8.16 mi ↗+299 ft ↘-190 ft ◔4h 00 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Edinburgh
The aim of the walk is to enjoy Edinburgh’s suburbs, outlying areas, and Green Belt setting (while it still exists) by making use of footpaths, tracks, disused railway lines and riverbanks, ascending mine tips, passing alongside farmland, docks and seafronts, and heading through quiet housing-estates as well as shopping-centres and University campus. This one-way walk goes from Wester Hailes to Kaimes and represents the leg 4/5 of a stroll around Edinburgh.

Walking A short walk in Duddingston

Visorando Member
Petite balade à Duddingston
↔2.51 mi ↗+564 ft ↘-564 ft ◔1h 40 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Edinburgh
A charming little village to the south-east of Edinburgh, Duddingston is well worth a visit.Old Church Lane is separated from Duddingston Loch by a few gardens open to the public, notably the beautifully landscaped Dr Neil’s Garden.The pretty Duddingston Kirk is surrounded by an old cemetery, which is so small that, unfortunately, there isn’t much room to step back and take a decent photo.The Sheep Heid Inn, a little further on, does, however, offer a few seats in the garden where you can enjoy whatever takes your fancy… before setting off up Crow Hill, situated just below Edinburgh’s iconic hill, Arthur’s Seat… which we suggest you explore on the ‘A Short Tour of Edinburgh’ walk.After taking in the beautiful view from the top of the hill, head back to the starting point via Dunsapie Loch and Meadowfield Park.
