Overview

This walk will take us through the green spaces of this part of the city, following in part the Braid Burn, and passing through several community led projects as well as some historic sites, with a couple of ghosts lurking in the background.A wee bit of pavement walking/traffic noise from time to time to link the woodlands and parks. Mostly level walking with low gradient, but depending on weather conditions, uphill above Duddingston.

Option of finishing with tea and cake in a local community café, 10 minutes from start/finish point.
