When it comes to sustainability, Edinburgh is comfortably placed amongst the UK’s most advanced cities, due to its pristine air quality, low environmental exposure and emphasis on outdoor parks (almost half of its land mass is comprised of green space). For guests of Mansley, this presents an opportunity to tie up the laces, hit the trail and enjoy glorious city views without pollution.
