Overview

Starting at the south end of Queensferry Street, this leisurely walk visits various city centre sites, pausing briefly for background information at a number of places of interest. We will walk through Princes St Gardens, around the edge of Waverley station, take in the views from Calton Hill (the one significant ascent) and then onto Leith before finishing at the shore by the Water Of Leith. 

NOTE: As this is a city walk, numbers will be limited to 15 participants.
