Walk Description
We’ll walk up beside the River Almond to Cramond Brig (lots of steps both up and down and can be muddy). Then past some really nice houses to a path between two golf courses to find our way to Lauriston Castle and grounds. From there we’ll cross another golf course to descend to the banks of the Forth and follow the promenade back to the car park.
