Excellent surface however the tar is very narrow so be careful with the walkers and doggie brigade. The far end is closed for the building of the DC link to Engerlind ….

Use your lights and watch out for dogs on long leashes

Amazing street art on a well maintained tunnel taking you past Arthur's Seat and into the city.

Stunning views. Path gets very gravelly so care needed if you are less experienced off-road

If you keep an eye out as you go along, you’ll see signs of its own purpose: the remains of a bridge built to connect farmland on either side; the remains of old short platforms; remains of what might have been more extensive buildings now gone; and if you delve into the woodland a hundred metres also down from the tunnel there are still a few remains of the railway.

Often busy with dog-walkers at peak times

Nestled amongst the Pentland Hills, Glencorse Reservoir is incredibly picturesque. It was built between 1820 and 1824 to provide water to mills in the area and supply drinking water to Edinburgh. Today, the reservoir still supplies water to 450,000 people. The reservoir was created by constructing a dam, which is 77 feet (23.5 m) at its highest point.

Cramond Island is a deserted island with a few ruins and bunkers from the Second World War. At low tide, the island can be reached over a narrow and low concrete causeway in a four-hour window, two hours before and two hours after low tide. The path is about 1.6 kilometres (one mile) long and passes concrete piers dating from the Second World War, built to protect against torpedoes and ships. The times when the path to the island is open are posted at the start of the path and are also published on the internet: https://queensferrylifeboat.co.uk/cramond-tides At high tide, the water rises so high that you can only leave the island by swimming or waiting up to eight hours for the causeway to be open again. If you do decide to swim, be aware of the current, the low water temperature and the relatively long distance.
