Water of Leith 4K Virtual Walking Tour | Edinburgh City | Scotland

Taken during the autumn of 2019, the walk along the river is calming and scenic. A lovely walk from anytime of the day.

"The Water of Leith is perhaps more a green corridor than a park, although it is designated an Urban Wildlife Site. The waterway snakes through the city from the foot of the Pentlands to Leith docks, providing a haven for birds (as much as 80 different species), wildlife, and a peaceful, semi-rural route for pedestrians, cyclists, joggers and pram-pushers. There's also a variety of historic sites that are linked with this important Edinburgh river.

You can walk (and cycle) much of the way with the water rushing below you, although the pedestrian-cyclepath doesn't always go directly beside the river and some access points have steep staircases to negotiate. Sections of the Water of Leith make attractive scenic routes for getting around the city, whether it's going to a restaurant or pub, a rugby match, or an art gallery.

In recent years there's been quite a bit of cleaning up of the Watter of Leith, although rubbish can still be a problem in parts. The Water of Leith Conservation Trust help maintain the City of Edinburgh's 12-mile Water of Leith walkway from Balerno to Leith''
