The Ferry Road path is an off-road walking/running/cycle trail that roughly parallels the main A902 Ferry Road in or out of Edinburgh. It follows the course of an old railway line so is straight and flat with bridges keeping the pesky roads out of the way. Great fast running if you time it right but sometimes it's quite bust with cyclists and walkers so get up early. You can use this trail to make a nice loop with the coast.
