Singletrack on The Braids Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

You get very good views of Edinburgh when you are on these single tracks on the side of The Braids Hill. The surfaces are compact enough, not too much mud and decent grip. There are walkers using the same tracks but it was far from congested late February
