Overview

This is a circular walk from the library through woods and station to Heriot Watt.   Woodland path to union for coffee, where we can use toilet facilities.  Continue through grounds of Heriot Watt, past  duck pond and the Lawn.  Walk skirts the grounds of the university and up Donkey Lane to Park at Juniper Green, where we will have lunch.  We will then pick up the Water of Leith, newly surfaced, to return to Currie Library.
