If you have been to Edinburgh, you know that it’s a gorgeous city. From the regal stately homes of the New Town, to the old winding medieval alleyways of the Old Town, to the sea at Portobello or the grassy slopes atop Calton Hill, it’s a magical place that offers so many scenic views and interesting pockets of history – it’s hard to choose a favorite part of the city. I called this post ‘The Prettiest Walk in Edinburgh’ because it’s about one of my personal favorite walks I’ve taken in a long time, but there’s really no end to ‘pretty walks’ in a city like this one.

But I offer up this path along the Water of Leith as one of the greenest and most tranquil walks you can take here, also featuring some of the most ‘storybook-like’ parts of the city. So come along if you want a glimpse of that!
