Ah, cheers Baz - never heard of Figgate Park myself, had just assumed it would be on the Prom, but thought it could be a bit busy there, so if they've found a quiet park then that makes sense.

Cramond is/was getting too big, although with huge wide path then can cope - this should ease the numbers a bit.

Not so easy to get to for me, but will no doubt give it a go sometime !

57.5 Degrees of Pain
According to the Edinburgh Parks directory it has a distinctive burn. That might put folk on other threads off a bit! Looks like the course might have to go up and down said burn a few times as the park is small.

I think I may even have run close by, I ended up in that part of Edinburgh when I had a bit of a navigation fail at the back end of Holyrood Park.

One full lap up and down the length of the park measures 1.06 miles on the Fetch Routes, so looks like 3 laps ?

If it's fairly level, then think it may be less exposed to the wind, so maybe a good option compared to Cramond on windy days
