Edinburgh offers masses of un-city like activities; rock climbing, skiing, pony trekking, great walks and golf in (or near) the city.
Capital Golf Edinburgh is one of Scotland’s top golfing destinations. It has some 20 golf courses within its boundaries and is within easy reach of East Lothian with its many superb links. More...
Walking It’s so easy to find interesting walks in the city. Follow the signposts by the Water of Leith, cross Arthur’s Seat to find a historic pub in Duddingston, walk in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson on the Pentland Hills.
Cycling Edinburgh has one of the most extensive off-road cycle networks in Britain. Many of these are based on the trackbeds of the once extensive former suburban railway network. These green corridors are now designated cycleways.
Leisure Facilities Plenty of choice here – the capital is well-endowed with sports centres and swimming pools, including the famous Commonwealth Pool. The Ratho Centre, to the west, is Scotland’s national climbing centre; while just to the south of the city, Hillend, Britain’s best dry ski slope, offers year round skiing.
