Description

For those seeking a new perspective on the stunning views of Edinburgh, a hike up the Braids is a must. The walk up the Braids offers an extra sense of scale and breathtaking views across the city, making it well worth the effort. While traversing the golf course may be necessary, the unobscured views and lack of interference with golfers make the journey to the top enjoyable. The area is popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists, and offers fantastic views of Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills. The springtime brings the delightful scent of flowering gorse, and the area is home to an abundance of wildlife, including jackdaws, foxes, and wild deer. With wide paths leading up to the top and a narrower path on the descent, the Braids offer a lovely, quiet escape for a sunny day outing. Proper footwear is recommended for the challenging climb, but the spectacular views make it all worthwhile. Whether you're a local looking for a new adventure or a visitor seeking the best views of Edinburgh, the Braids are not to be missed.
