East Lothian Outdoor Guide

Many of the paths go to, or pass vantage points offering views of the surrounding rolling landscape. Amongst the features are hidden gems - river valleys, woodland, secret bays and historic sites. It is now possible to walk the length of the East Lothian coast, almost 73km from Edinburgh to the Borders. The routes now form part of the long distance walking and cycling route of the John Muir Way which stretches 134 miles (215km) across Scotland’s heartland, running between Dunbar and Helensburgh in the west. For more details on walking or cycling the route please visit www.johnmuirway.org A number of walking leaflets have been produced, highlighting walks along the coast and around towns and villages all of these are available on visiteastlothian.org East Lothian offers a great variety of landscapes for walking, with the Lammermuir Hills to the south, a coast of beaches and cliffs and an expanse of arable farmland in between.
