From Musselburgh to Aberlady along the John Muir Way
The John Muir Way is a 73 kilometre coastal path which begins its journey in the historic fishing town of Musselburgh and winds its way along the beautiful, if windy, east coast of Scotland through Cockenzie, Aberlady, North Berwick, Dunbar and finally on to Dunglass. My walk covers just over 18km of the Way, from Musselburgh to Aberlady.

Seven Hills of Edinburgh – by Bike
When one is setting out on a strenuous day’s mountaineering it’s important to set up a secure basecampe at the foot of any summits, and thankfully, a mere 15 minutes out of the door at home, some of those delightful stands from Sheffield (bike racks) have been placed at Dunsapie Loch on the slopes of Arthur’s Seat.

Hitting the Heights (of West Lothian)
For this walk, we feature a trip out of Armadale along the old M8 – no, not that one. The road we’re referring to is the original road between Glasgow and Edinburgh, that was built in the 1640s and was the first road in Scotland of more than a metre wide.

The Penicuik to Bonnyrigg Walkway
Taking the walk from south to north, it runs from Valleyfield Monument to Loanhead and back to Rosslyn, around 7 miles. For much of the walk you are following a disused railway track, providing good walking conditions on the whole. The points described can be followed on the map. If you have access to more than one vehicle, you can leave one at Rosslyn for when you finish. Otherwise, there are buses through Penicuik and Bonnyrigg. Map is O.S. Sheet 66.
