If you are looking for a pleasant walk in Edinburgh consider taking the path along the Water of Leith (main river that flows through Edinburgh) between Stockbridge and Dean Village. The full walkway runs over 12 miles and goes through the city from Balerno to Leith (~ 7 hours to walk the total path), but you can start or stop the walk anywhere in between. The path goes by a number of attractions throughout the city. A favorite section of this path is the charming section from Stockbridge to Dean Village, which are also two areas of Edinburgh very worth visiting.

Explore Edinburgh’s hidden natural asset, the Water of Leith. Flowing for 24 miles from its source in the Pentland Hills, the river winds its way through the heart of our capital to its outflow into the Firth of Forth at Leith. Once Edinburgh’s industrial heartland, the valley was host to over 70 mills harnessing the power of the water to produce paper, fabric, and flour with the river mouth supporting a vibrant dock and boat building industry. Today the river is home to a wide diversity of plants and animals from wild garlic and orchids to brown trout, heron, kingfisher and otter, and can be explored on foot or bike along the 12 3/4 mile Water of Leith Walkway.
