We love Edinburgh's many green spaces and for us, it's a huge part of the appeal of the city, from Princes Street Gardens smack bang in the heart of the capital to the soaring ridges of the Salisbury Crags there are plenty of spots to escape to when the weather is good (and even when it's not).
With summer on the way, there are plenty of excuses for discovering some new spots to enjoy for a wee wander when the hustle and bustle of the busy streets get too much.
One lesser-known walk, that is loved by one of Edinburgh's most famous crime writers, is a beautiful woodland walk that is found in the south side of the city.
