Edinburgh

Walk Run Cycle

Walk, run, or cycle along the historical streets and paths of the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh. The city is jam-packed with things to do all within a decent distance of each other. Expand your mind in UNESCO’s first City of Literature, marvel at Edinburgh Castle, and get a breath of fresh air from Princes Street Gardens and the Meadows.

Run along Portobello Beach, Fisherrow Sands, and the Water of Leith while snapping a few pictures along the way. Feel inspired at Edinburgh’s top art museums, watch the sunset or sunrise atop Calton Hill with a 360 view of the city’s landmarks, and waltz down the halls of Holyrood Palace and Gardens. Throughout the year, Edinburgh hosts some of the most magnificent festivals such as the Fringe, the International Literary Festival, a dazzling Christmas market in December, and the 3-day Hogmanay festival to welcome the New Year.

Hear bagpipes and buskers along the streets in between quaint souvenir shops, pubs, and restaurants. The Potterheads will be pleased to visit the sights that inspired the beloved novel series such as Riddle’s grave, the school that allegedly inspired Hogwarts, and the very café where J.K. Rowling began writing the first book in the series. Let us guide you through this wonderful city, that is absolutely worth the hype, while you create memories that last.

Run Edinburgh

Run along Portobello Beach, Fisherrow Sands, and the Water of Leith while snapping a few pictures along the way. Through picturesque Circus Lane, the city sights, and pockets of nature like Princes Street Gardens (which has a gorgeous view of Edinburgh Castle), you won’t get bored with the same old roadside views. Most of the routes are well-paved and traffic-free and can easily be extended as you like. Pass by bagpipes and buskers along the streets in between quaint souvenir shops, pubs, restaurants, and a historical site or two such as Charlotte Square. Let us guide you through this wonderful city, while you take in the sights and sounds along the way.

Cycle Edinburgh

Our cycle routes follow National Cycle Route 75 and 1 as far as possible as well as well-paved paths that are mostly traffic-free. Cycle to centuries-old castles, through the Meadows, and along Portobello Beach. Ride from Duddingston Loch with Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park in the background through Newcraighill, once a coal mining area, past Queen Margaret University, and the River Esk. Start or end your trip by watching the sunrise or sunset on Calton Hill, with monuments of its own and a 360 view of the city’s landmarks such as Scott Monument, St Gile’s Cathedral, Arthur’s Seat, and Holyrood Palace. Let us guide you through this wonderful city, while you take in the historic sites and perhaps snap a photo here and there.
