A great park; always very sunny and spacious with the Braid burn flowing through the middle. A good start off a walk up to the Pentlands as there is a path that joins all the way up to Swanston Village.

This huge park within the heart of the city not only offers a real wilderness but from the top of the peak, and even from Salisbury Crags the views of Edinburgh are unbeatable. A bit further from the flat so you can jump on the no. 5 bus and get off at the Commonwealt Pool, or you can walk through the Grange away from busy roads.

This walk cuts through Georgian Edinburgh and is continuous from Balerno to the sea. Maybe try the 36 bus and explore Stockbridge before wandering back up the river towards Dean Bridge.

The museum hosts Scotland's national collection and after it's extension by Scottish Architects Benson & Forsyth it's a joy to visit. One half is a typical Victorian grand salle with the chambers accessed around the galleries, the newer half an experiential journey through a series of amazing spaces to the roof terrace.
A great visit regardless of whether you are interested in architecture or history - head for the roof terrace.
