If you're looking to blow away the cobwebs, go for a walk up Arthurs Seat for a fantastic view right over the city (the mound of rock that towers over the city centre) Don't worry, there are paths that lead up it so you should be fine in trainers. Make your way towards the Scottish Parliament buildings (or Holyrood Palace), and there is a car-park there (usually with an ice-cream van!) with lots of routes leading off it.
