From Cobbles to Clifftops: Running tour of Edinburgh

🏃‍♀️ Edinburgh on the Run: A City’s Secrets at Your Feet
It all began when I arrived in Edinburgh as a fresh-faced medical student from Glasgow. The city’s narrow closes, sweeping Georgian crescents, and unexpected viewpoints quickly became my running route… and my obsession. Every run revealed something new — a hidden courtyard, an overlooked statue, a whisper from the city’s layered history.
Now, I want to share that same sense of discovery with you. This isn’t just another walking tour. This is a jog-at-your-pace adventure through Edinburgh’s streets and stories, for those who want to see more, in less time, and feel the city come alive beneath their feet.
We’ll start at the iconic Scott Monument, then weave through:

• The Royal Mile, where history breathes through cobblestones.
• Arthur’s Seat for a panoramic view that will take your breath away.
• The atmospheric Dean Village, a riverside escape frozen in time.
• Colour-splashed Victoria Street, rumoured to inspire Diagon Alley.
• The tranquil Water of Leith, Edinburgh’s hidden green artery.
  We’ll finish in Princes Street Gardens, where we can cool down, stretch, and I’ll share my favourite coffee spots.

Why is this different? You’re not just seeing Edinburgh — you’re experiencing it the way locals do, with pace, energy, and a few well-kept secrets. I’ll take you off the tourist-trampled routes, show you hidden gems, and tell you stories you won’t hear from a guidebook.
