What is the Roseburn Path?

The Roseburn Path is one of Edinburgh’s most important green spaces.
A little slice of calm right at the heart of the city we call home.


Edinburgh residents use the route to walk, jog, wheel, cycle and sit.

They use it alone.

They use it with friends and family.

They use it for leisure, commuting, travelling further afield, getting some quiet time away from their busy lives.

​

For residents in areas such as Drylaw, Gorgie and Dalry, the Roseburn Path is a local park.

Who are we and why are we here?

The City of Edinburgh Council has proposed an extension to the tram network. The proposed route from Granton to the city centre along the
Roseburn Path would permanently destroy a vital green space and negatively impact on quality of life for Edinburgh residents and their families.

​

​Founded in early 2024, our campaign represents a diverse group of our city’s residents. We’re walkers, wheelers, bench sitters, bird watchers, dog
walkers and 20-minute tea-breakers that understand just how much green space matters. 


Our aim is to save the Roseburn Path for the people of Edinburgh.

Just some of the benefits of the
Roseburn Path

Urban green space

 

The Roseburn Path is an urban green space and natural environment that improves the physical
and mental health of Edinburgh’s residents.

Part of National Cycle Route 1

 

The Roseburn Path is key part of the National Cycle Network and a vital cog in Edinburgh’s
network of segregated off-road cycling paths.

​

Haven for biodiversity

 

The Roseburn Path is a safe haven for pollinators, bats, foxes, badgers and several protected species of bird.

Part of our nature network

​

​​It's part of Edinburgh’s nature network – a partnership between the Council and Scottish Wildlife Trust.

Mitigating climate change impact
 

The Roseburn Path is home to 3,500 trees which reduce CO2, improve air quality and mitigate flood risk.
