Overview

Starting from the car park close to Currie Kirk, the walk follows the path through the Poet's Glen to Middle Kinleith. From here we head towards the Maiden's Cleugh. We climb Harbour Hill (421m) and pass Bonaly Reservoir before dropping down to the Dreghorn area and into Colinton village. Return is via the Water of Leith Walkway.
