New cycle route connecting Edinburgh and Midlothian opens after £1million scheme

A key Edinburgh cycle and pedestrian route has now been completed linking Midlothian to the capital following a £1million investment.

QuietRoute 61, which now links Roslin to Portobello has officially opened as of Thursday, as Edinburgh's Transport and Environment Convenor, Scott Arthur, hailed the success of the route which will make travelling across the city a lot safer.

Signage has been extended from its original endpoint at Gilmerton Road to Portobello Promenade, with numerous links into the wider active travel network along the route, including National Cycle Network Routes 1 and 76 at Jewel Park and QuietRoute 10 at Portobello Promenade.
