It takes in many points of historic interest, introduces local tales and folklore, and offers some incredible panoramic views. 

A circular five mile route, the trail can easily be completed in a day. Take a picnic or stop off to sample the cafes along the way.  

Walk or cycle, experience an epic train ride across The Forth Bridge and enjoy a boat trip on the Firth of Forth.
