We will begin on a cycle path that leads us along The Union Canal, passing canal boats, original 19th-century bridges, and rowers in training.
We then descend onto a cycle ramp that takes us to The Water of Leith, a picturesque walkway/cycle path that passes under aqueducts, by allotments, and through the rejuvenated Saughton Park with its original Bandstand.
We’ll pass by Scotland’s National Rugby Stadium, Murrayfield, and continue towards Dean Village, a World Heritage site. Here, you’ll see Thomas Telfer’s bridge and the original Edinburgh School Board house.
Leith will come into view, where we’ll stop for a refreshment right beside the famous harbour. We then head towards Portobello Beach, offering views of Fife across the Firth of Forth Estuary.
Our final landmark is the impressive ‘Innocent Tunnel’ railway path, built in 1860.
