local coffee fix
There are no end of good coffee shops however, I have not been to any particularly near-by. Fortitude in Stockbridge is the closest I could recommend.

Route details
There is parking just off the Queensferry road by the restaurant and at the entrance to the estate. Head into the estate on a good dirt road and follow this all the way down to the coast. Once near the coast follow the single track trail through the woods, though you could stick to the larger track through the golf course if you wished. You follow the coast all the way to the Queensferry bridge.
Once at the railway bridge turn back south and pick up the road that takes you back to the Queensferry road. If I am honest this section of the route isn’t the best, but will do if you want a simple return to the car. I would recommend you check the map in advance and head back into the estate, finding your way back to the dirt track you began on initially. This would make it a little longer but would most likely be a much nicer return journey.
