Running
West Princes Street Gardens. The most convenient spot downtown for joggers is West Princes Street Gardens, which is separated from traffic by a 30-foot embankment. It has a half-mile loop on asphalt paths.
Holyrood Park. In Holyrood Park, stick to jogging on the road around the volcanic mountain for a 2¼-mi trip. For a real challenge, charge up to the summit of Arthur's Seat, or to the halfway point, the Cat's Nick.
