Overview

There’s much to discover on this gentle and engaging walk from Currie. We’ll follow quiet farm tracks and return beside the peaceful Water of Leith, uncovering tales of fascinating characters who once visited or called this village home.

Along the way, we’ll pass the historic walled garden of Malleny House, hear whispers of a ghost story or two, & if we are lucky spot some local wildlife.

This is more than just a walk; it’s a step into the past, a moment in nature, and a chance to explore hidden stories in beautiful surroundings.
