Local dog walks
We have a dog walk around the Northern perimeter of our dog friendly campsite and there are lots of local dog walks where pets can be let off the lead, including the woods around the Preston Grange Mining Museum, opposite the site and the John Muir Way which runs along the shoreline of the Firth of Forth. There are also plenty of paths through the Levenhall Links Nature Reserve.
The bus stop into Edinburgh is five minutes’ walk. Dogs can travel on Lothian Buses at the driver’s discretion. All dogs must be on a lead and normally 1 only allowed on the bus by the driver. For suggestions on A Dog Friendly Day out in Edinburgh, check out our blog.
