The Innocent Railway

Highlight • Historical Site

Near the foot of Arthur’s seat runs a good pathway that is two and a half miles long, or about four kilometres. In bygone ages, it was a railway line …

The Meadows

Highlight • Natural

Very nice to cycle around the meadows. You get a nice view of Arthur seat and there are plenty of cafes around as well as a few bike shops nearby. It can get busy with pedestrians at times.

Uplands Roast Coffee Stall

Highlight • Cafe

Great coffee and speedy service at reasonable prices

Tip by

9.71 km

Handy and lovely cycle path along an old railway line and in the shadow of Arthur’s Seat. So called because the operators of the railway used horse drawn wagons well after all the other railways started using steam engines.
