Midlothian Core Paths

Explore Midlothian's official path network connecting communities, countryside and coast across rolling Scottish lowlands. Terrain varies from flat riverside sections to moderate hillside climbs, with most routes manageable for regular walkers. Many paths suit families with older children (8+), though surfaces can be muddy and uneven – generally not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The network links historic sites, woodland trails and panoramic Pentland Hill viewpoints, offe

North Esk Way

Follows the North Esk River through wooded valleys and open farmland with gentle to moderate inclines throughout. Suitable for older children but not buggies due to uneven riverside paths and occasional stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers lovely waterside scenery, wildlife spotting opportunities, and a peaceful escape from nearby Edinburgh, with several access points allowing shorter family-friendly sections.

Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park

Follows the tree-lined Burdiehouse Burn through a peaceful valley corridor on the southern edge of Edinburgh. Mostly flat with well-maintained paths, perfect for families with buggies and young children. Dogs welcome and love the burn-side terrain. Offers a green escape from suburban streets with woodland sections, wildlife spotting opportunities, and easy access points along the route. Good for quick strolls or longer valley walks depending on your entry point.
