I took some of the trails when I visited. It was awesome. I would recommend getting away from Prince St and The Golden Mile. Venture into the countryside, that's where the real magic is.

This review is from: 100 Countryside Walks Around Edinburgh (Paperback)

The author, Derek Storey, was one of my Host Parents when I studied abroad in Scotland in the fall of 2000. We went on many walks around Edinburgh and Glasgow. A favorite of mine was the walk along the Clyde River from New Lanark. It is a gorgeous walk in the fall with the leaves changing color. Derek knows his stuff, and checks on the walks when he can to see if there are any new developments. He even takes out his host students on these walks. I can't think of a much better way to see some of the countryside than strolling along a meandering path. I highly recommend the book and the country it explores.
