Any Lothian types care to offer suggestions for a couple of good scenic 
trips on Lothian Buses.

long and winding road type journeys possible ?

I would suggest taking the 16 from Princes St to Silverknowes. It will 
take you down Leith Walk past the massive new developments on the water 
front, in the old Leith Docks and Granton Harbour. At Silverknowes walk 

down the hill and along the Promenade to Cramond. If the tide is out you 
can walk out to the island in the Firth of Forth, check the tide table.
You will now need a pint of real ale and a great meal in the Cramond 
Inn. Back to the City Centre by walking up past the church to catch the 
41 or for a round the houses trip the 24.
If this sounds like too much walking the 26 follows the Forth in the 
other direction out to East Lothian for about 12 miles.
The most winding route is the 15. This does a number of loop de loops 
(well nearly) on its way out to Penicuik 10 miles to the south of city.
Passing through Morningside of 'fur coat and nae knickers' fame. Further 
out you'll see the labs where Dolly the Sheep was created and lots of 
fields.
Hope this helps
