Book Description

Around Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders is one of 20 titles in the new Philip's Cycle Tours series. The series is directly derived from the highly successful Ordnance Survey Cycle Tours series, but has been updated and improved, with a new focus on the needs of cyclists and the cycling market in the 21st century. Each book in the series contains 20 routes, both on-road and off-road, taking you along low-traffic or traffic free roads, tracks and paths. The route takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside and prettiest villages in Britain, and past some of the finest and most interesting houses, churches, castles, gardens and monuments in the land. Around Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders provides excellent cycling in the superb scenery of the eastern half of southern Scotland around Edinburgh, with rides in the area from Dundee to the north through to the border country in the south. The region contains a wide variety of rides through hills and forest and past rivers, lochs and coastline. A unique feature of Philip's Cycle Tours is the superb Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 mapping showing the routes of the rides. This mapping not only gives the detail and clarity you need
