Ten routes from a resident guide. Sketch maps, the stops in order and a Google Maps link for every walk.
These are the routes I walk myself. The shortest takes an hour under the castle. The longest is half a day round the back of Arthur’s Seat. Between them they cover the Old Town, the New Town, the river, the port and the hill.
What’s inside:
Ten walks from 1.5 km to 7 km, each graded easy, moderate or harder
A sketch map for every route, with the stops numbered in order
A Google Maps link for each walk, so you can follow it on your phone
The story at every stop, not just the directions
Where to start and finish, what’s underfoot and the best time to go
A pit stop on every walk: a pub, café or bakery worth the break
Local tips, and the film and TV locations along the way
An overview map and table to help you choose your walk
Practical notes before you set off
The walks:
The Royal Mile, Top to Bottom
Under the Castle
Georgian Edinburgh
Stockbridge, the Village in the City
Dean Village and the Galleries
The Water of Leith to the Sea
Leith, the Port That Never Agreed to Join
West End, Murrayfield and the Roseburn Path
Calton Hill
Holyrood Park and Duddingston
25 pages. A4 PDF, easy to read on a phone or to print.
