Overview

The walk will begin from Haymarket and walk to join the Water of Leith Walkway.  This is a pleasant, easy walk on good paths that follows the Water of Leith.  It passes through quiet wooded areas, the Dean Village, three  Antony Gromley Statues, and some parts of the city.   The walk will finish at Leith, where we will have our packed lunch, although there are plenty of cafes in this area.   There is an option to catch a bus back to Waverley or walk.  The walk to Waverley is approximately 50 minutes.
