WATER OF LEITH WALKWAY IN EDENBURGH
Stretching from Balerno to the Firth of Forth, this 12-mile-long ( 19km ) path is perfect for soaking up the greatest hits of Edinburgh’s charms.
The Water of Leith Walkway takes its name from the river which runs through the heart of the city.
Highlights include pretty waterfalls, weirs and wildlife — despite the predominantly urban setting,
the likes of grey wagtails, dippers, cormorants, herons, kingfishers and otters can all be spotted here.
Turner Prize-winning artist Antony Gormley’s much-beloved series of standing figures, 6 Times,
can be seen along the section from Dean Village to Leith.
The photogenic, mural emblazoned Colinton Tunnel has verses of From A Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson written on the walls,
illustrated by colourful paintings.
Part of the former Balerno branch line and now revamped thanks to a community art project, it stretches 459ft (140m).
