Water of Leith

20 miles in length, the river nears the city centre between West End and Dean Village, the site of old watermills in a deep gorge. The ravine is dramatically spanned by the Dean Bridge, designed and built by Thomas Telford and built in 1832.

It's home to various wildlife species including Kingfishers and Herons. It is very much cherished as a tranquil escape within the bustling cityscape offering a serene environment for locals and visitors alike.
