Pack a few snacks and enjoy a fun family day out at The Braid Hills. There's plenty of space for the kids to run around and get some exercise.

This outdoor recreational space is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Morningside. But The Braid Hills isn't the only drawcard in the area. Edinburgh Castle, Murrayfield Stadium, and Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre are some other worthwhile attractions close by.
