Dvorak Apr 2013 2:59pm, 15 Apr 2013 6,670 posts	0 Dvorak Tried mapping a route around Leith Links (west side without crossing road). Round outside with zigzags (paths). Only around 2km Not that it couldn't be 2.5 laps but I suspect there would be too many civilians polluting the route as well. The problem with Edinburgh is that every bit of potential parkland has been turned into a golf course.
