IN DETAIL

Meeting point (layby) and nearest bus stops on Lothian Buses 42 route: Holyrood High School or Golf Club.

Meet at layby at 10.30am, bring lunch, finish at around 3.00pm. There are no facilities (but plenty of trees!).

Can be very muddy after rain as loch level rises so strong waterproof walking boots or welly boots. Some paths are narrow and although on the flat, they can be uneven so bring a stick if you normally use one.
