Water of Leith: Slateford to Leith
5 minute walk from Slateford station · Edinburgh and South East · Free entry
The Water of Leith Walkway is an urban walk running right through Edinburgh, starting at Balerno outside the city and finishing at the Port of Leith. We describe it in two parts; this second part makes a cross-section through the city of Edinburgh. There is a huge amount of interest, from the views of Murrayfield Stadium to the very picturesque sections through Dean Village and Stockbridge.
