Edinburgh Walks takes to the cobbles, mountains, waterways and gardens of one of the world's most stunning capital cities. As well as visiting the cultural and historic landmarks at the heart of the city, the waterways that help to shape it and the hills that dominate its skyline, this book journeys beyond the city limits to the lochs, beaches, nature reserves and historic villages just a short bus or train ride away - from the palace of Linlithgow to the Pentland reservoirs, the harbour at North Berwick and the sands of Gullane. This book is ideal for both the visitor who wants to discover Edinburgh in a weekend and the resident looking for easy half-day excursions in and out of the city - with insights that will keep even the Edinburgh old-timer entertained.
