Today's walk takes us from the outer edge of Edinburgh all the way to Leith Docks. But when you consider this 12.5 mile/20km walk cuts right through the heart of the city, it's not what you might expect! We will try to complete the whole Water of Leith walkway in a single attempt. Will we make it all the way? Join us to find out!

The Water of Leith is one of the most beautiful rivers in Scotland. Its no wonder Edinburgh was, once upon a time called Dunedin, the garden of Eden.

@h-Qalziel Год назад

Technically, Dunedin means the 'Fort of Eidyn', 'Eidyn' being an Anglo-Saxon name unrelated to 'Eden'. It is, however, still called Dunedin today - 'dun' and 'burgh' being the same word (fort) in different languages. In Scottish Gaelic, 'Edinburgh' is 'Dùn Èideann'.

I used to do that walk with an old mate of mine back in the day. We had an amazing walk one evening, bonfire night, and there was fireworks going off in every garden of the new housing estates on that journey. We saw a badger, no doubt freaked out of hiding by the constant light and noise that went on for miles. My mate died 14 years ago and this brought back some happy memories. Thanks.

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

I'm sorry to hear your friend is no longer with us, but so glad to bring back some good memories! :) I'd have loved to have seen more wildlife, the only thing missing on this day (apart from fireworks of course!)

@manicstreetpreacher200 3 года назад

@@steve-marsh no worries. Normally the appeal of these walks is to escape the constant hum and noise of the city, and it's amazing how quickly that disappears once you're in the heart of nature, - like flicking a switch. I'd need to check out more of your channel, but it would be good if you went to The Hermitage/Blackford Hill area and filmed around there. The 360 view from the top of that hill is the best view of Edinburgh I've seen. All the best.

Oh, so happy to see this video pop up. Brent and I were just sitting on the sofa ready to see if our son had posted a video and we saw yours. We look forward to watching your videos so much. The pathway you took looks lovely and maybe some day we'll get to stroll it also. I believe I have an ancestor from Leith, but still doing some research. You made our day and so glad the weather co-operated with you. I am envious of all that greenery, our spring won't be here in Atlantic Canada for a while. Our winter weather seems to be just starting here as far as snow storms so I've missed a few of my daily walking trips. Today was "BALTIC" here, so I decided to stay inside. Glad to see you are both healthy and out getting your exercise. Looking forward to another video soon! You're part of our mental health regime now, so that means you're obligated. ;)

@steve-marsh 3 года назад

Thanks you so much Janice and Brent! It was a lovely day, but to be honest we had to sit on this one for a week waiting for the best weather :) I hope that wasn't our spring and summer all in one day! That's really exciting to research ancestry, I just hope you can trace back to a building that still stands as Leith has undergone a lot of regeneration in the last years. The Water of Leith is often described as 'a silver thread in a ribbon of green' and it's hard to disagree! Thanks again and hope you're both doing well :)

born and brought up here. went to school in Juniper Green and the whole Water of Leith / Colinton Dell and the Pentlands via Bonaly was our playground growing up. i remember the 'puffing Billy' train that used to run on that railway line and how, in the summer, it would set the embankment by our house on fire with sparks from the engine and how much we enjoyed putting those fires out before the fire brigade could get there!

Harrow rd, London W9 along the canal to St Marys in Praed st, Paddington via Little Venice & the Paddington Basin. Was a longer way to work but I loved it.

That was really good thank you very pretty walk. The labradors were hilarious watched them twice...it must be nice for you with the sun and blue sky 👍

It was a really nice day! The labradors were having even more fun than us :) Sun gone today and replaced with reddish fog with sand from the Sahara apparently!
