Derek Purdy 25 CYCLE ROUTES - EDINBURGH AND LOTHIAN

With a foreword by the Cyclists' Touring Club. Routes approved by Lothian Regional Council.

Published by Mercat Press

This book describes 25 cycle rides in the vastly diverse region of Scotland's capital and its surrounding countryside. From traffic-free routes in the depths of the great city to wild rocky shorelines on the coast; and from disused railway tracks in the Lowlands to castles and ancient forts on the outlying hills, this book can't help but instill a new appreciation of the Lothians.
