The walk is on woodland paths and tarmac.

We will have a brief stop at Blackness Castle.
After we walk along the shore of the Firth of Forth where there are beautiful views of the bridges at South Queensferry, then entering Wester Shore Wood and finally arrive at the hamlet of Abercorn. Some of the buildings in this area have been used for filming Outlander.
