Mortonhall has developed a network of paths, which you are invited to use.
Rural scene on the Mortonhall Estate

Take nothing but enjoyment & photographs,
Leave nothing but footprints,
& Please keep dogs on leads as they frighten people & animals
The paths are open all year round. Occasionally it may be necessary to close sections, for example, for woodland and farming operations.
The paths are all signed and waymarked and indicate whether they can be used by walkers, cyclists or horses. Please keep to the waymarked paths and respect the privacy of the people living on and about the estate
The paths have been developed in association with the Paths for All Partnership, Edinburgh Green Belt Trust and Scottish Natural Heritage.
