This is a wonderful place for a walk, and especially if you have dogs. There is a stream for them to paddle, wooded areas and some bits with grass.

This should be the pride of Edinburgh. It's a beautiful wooded river gorge within the city limits. Make sure you stop off at the gatehouse for a bacon and black pudding roll. The only downside is that there are always too many dogs in the park. Add some cyclists and things occasionally get heated.

A nice walk through the woods, great walk for the dogs, and has streams and small waterfalls for the kids to play in. Care is a mist.

Nice walk along a stream/ burn. You can't visit the house but the walk is really lovely, covered by trees so great for a dog walk on warm days for shade. One side of the stream has a tarmac path which is mostly clean and dogs can clean off in stream so great way of cleaning them at the end of a walk. There is a nice cafe at the start if the walking a big field plus option to climb a hill.
