Sailing at Port Edgar Checklist

Directions to Port Edgar from Dalmeny when traveling from Edinburgh: Walk straight down the ramp and straight down the street. You will be in a residential area. Look right and you'll connect with a great bike path. Turn left and follow the path until you reach the ScotMid Parking Lot. Exit the lot heading down and follow the road left. You will pass a police station and bus stop. Continue down this road until it curves back up hill. The road bridge will be in front of you. Follow this road straight through the Port Edgar gate and straight on until it slopes down to the right. At this point the Yacht club (and circular tables) are on your left. This is our meeting place.
