C walk, 7 miles. Minimal ascent.
This is a circular walk by the River Esk, past Queen Margaret University and Musselburgh Railway Station then towards Newhailes House and Gardens. We then go via the beach to return to the car park. A lot of this walk is on tarmac surfaces and a path that is a bit muddy.
