text: A haven for wildlife and adventurers alike this is a fabulous park in the natural sense not the kickabout sense full of endless examples of natural Scotland Not too far from Kings Buildings it offers a wonderful retreat where you can forget about everything else and just relaxnnIn one area of the park you have the Braid Burn a stream that gently cascades through the park with endless different locations to stop and take it in as it continues down its course Head further out from Edinburgh and you leave the wooded region and head up into a slightly more barren hilly area tainted only by a golf course sat in the smaller areas of slightly flatter land that have not been consumed by these hillsidesnnIt is well worth following the Braid Burn for as much of its course as you can On the first half of its travels it is penned in by steep wooded hillsides towering over you before it breaks out to be flanked by small grassy meadows and smaller vegetated hillsides A great walk in some great countryside
