What people say

"From Princes Street 2 hour walk or 30 min bus ride. I walked all the way there once, it takes you mostly through suburbs and is definitely a long walk. If you can I'd also recommend getting a bike, good compromise between walking and bus. Musselburgh is located on the sea edge if you're missing the ocean view. However, it got it's fame from the bird life. The locations makes it very favourable with birds especially migrating sea birds. People from all over the UK come here to spot some rare species. If you're a bird lover this is a perfect spot for you 🐦 Did you know you can see Puffins in Edinburgh? In the bay there is Isle of May, puffin colony. In the summer month you can join a boat tour that will take you there to see the clowns of the sea 🐧"
