Water of Leith

"Walking From Roseburn to Stockbridge"

City Centre

26 September 2024

10am – 1pm

EVENT OVERVIEW

The Water of Leith Walkway is a public footpath that runs alongside the small river of Leith, through Edinburgh from Balerno to Leith Shore.

The Walkway was completed in 2002 by courtesy of Millennium Project funding. It is managed by The City of Edinburgh Council Parks who also manage many of the parks and green spaces along the 13 mile route. The Water itself originates from the Colzium Springs in the Pentland Hills, covering over 22 miles along its journey.

We will start our walk at Roseburn and follow the Water to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. We will drop in for a coffee before continuing down to the Dean Village and on to Stockbridge for final refreshments.

ABOUT Carer Walks

Care for Carers runs a series of walks throughout the year, helping carers to get a short break from their caring roles. We travel through the quiet, peaceful parks and green spaces in and around Edinburgh, sometimes further afield, finding out a little more about our surroundings and one another.

The expected terrain is indicated beside each walk, but sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing are always essential. Minibus transport is provided where appropriate.

Both carers and former carers are welcome to attend. Please contact us in advance to reserve a place on a particular walk.

Further details on the Carer Walks programme can be found here.
