Overview

A calm and peaceful walk along the banks of the Water of Leith from Dean Village to Colinton.  Almost all on good footpaths but with a number of busy roads to cross.  We will make occasional stops en route to look at local points of interest.

The walk will finish at approximately 2.30pm to return by bus to city centre in time to catch the 3.15pm bus back to Perth. The walk can be shortened should anyone want to return to Perth on an earlier bus.
