Overview

This walk is a slightly modified version of an old favourite. We start at the House of the Binns car park.

We follow part of the John Muir Way to Hopetoun House and return via Abercorn and Midhope Glen. Fairly good paths and tracks. Lovely views of the Firth of Forth and Blackness castle.
