Walk from New Hailes to Prestonpans via lagoons at Musselburgh
This walk out of Edinburgh along the coast starts with a stroll through the historic New Hailes estate then past Fisherrow harbour to the Musselburgh lagoons where we will stop at the bird hides with our bird expert Mickey on hand.
Then onwards along the coast, through the Prestongrange Industrial Museum to ‘The Pans’, with optional stops for a bargain at Sam Burns yard and a pint in a socialist social club - the very swish Prestonpans Labour Club.
