The no 11 bus from Stanley Road takes you to the Fairmilehead junction. A short walk along Swanston Road takes you to the Hillend Ski centre and hill-walking country. There are circular walks ending up in Swanston village - or you could walk to Flotterstone where there is a pub. This too is on a bus route to Edinburgh - but not directly to Newhaven/Trinity. On the one side you can get views of Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat. Over the hill you can see a reservoir - and in fact feel as if you are in the depths of the countryside.

You can walk here on the cycle paths - or take the 16 bus on the road passing the harbour to Silverknowes. At the terminus you walk down the hill to Marine Drive which is a coastal walk to Cramond.
The village is not much more than the kirk and a pub, but is quaint. Robert Louis Stevenson spent a lot of time there and the bistro/gallery has a mural of one of his poems on the wall.
Cramond Isle has a causeway to it when the tide is out - and you can go to the island and walk around. Check the tide tables though.
There is also a beach.
If you walk further you can get to the River Almond - more walks and a waterfall.

Arts & Culture
Newhaven is interesting since it was a village in its own right and is still a fishing port. The houses have been rebuilt in the same style as the fisherman's cottages and up to the middle of the last century the woman used to wear the national dress of the area and used to sell fresh fish.
There are some stunning sunsets/skies in the harbour expecially in the long summer evenings.
