Edinburgh is one of the most richly layered historical cities in Europe, with the medieval layout of the Old Town and the neoclassicism of the Georgian New Town attracting visitors from all over the world.

Like Rome, Edinburgh has its Seven Hills, while two waterways slip unseen through the capital.

These 25 walks feature the best of the city, as well as the harbours, beaches, and nature reserves of the Firth of Forth, the hills and glens of the Pentlands and the parkland of some of the finest nearby country estates.

The book begins with an excellent short introduction to Edinburgh today and its history. Each of the walks begins with details of distance, time, terrain, and access to the start. The following text provides a detailed commentary of the route, including places and events important to the history and culture of the area.
