Robots, Poets and all that Gas

Join Jo and Joan on a scenic loop from Craigleith taking in Heriot Watt, Edinburgh Park and Granton.

Route
From the junction of the Roseburn, Telford and Blackhall paths at Craigleith we'll head off down the Roseburn path and Water of Leith to Currie then up and over the hill to Heriot Watt (toilet available). From there we will noodle around to Edinburgh Park for our cafe/refreshment stop. Then it's back on the bikes through East Craigs, Barnton and Silverknowes to Forthquarter Park for a look around the newly redeveloped Granton Gas Holder.
