Overview

Our Festive Walk will start at Costa Coffee Drive Through, where you could start with a festive latte and  a toilet stop.  We will then walk the John Muir Path along the Innocent Railway towards Edinburgh.  We will pass Salisbury Crags, walk through the Meadows in Edinburgh and along the Canal Path to Slateford Railway Station.  For those who want to finish with a festive drink and lunch, there is a opportunity to take the train or bus into town.  This is a urban walk on good paths, which are shared with cyclists.
