Terrain description

South Queensferry has a variety of urban terrain, including the old town centre with narrow alleyways and steps, modern housing estates criss-crossed by a maze of pathways, open grassy areas and gardens, the beach, and a pathway along a disused railway line. This is all set on the side of a hill, with good views of the bridges across the Forth. 

Used for Regional events (e.g. the ESOC Sprint/Scottish Orienteering Urban League) and Local events.
