The park houses various hills, lochs, cliffs and vast green plains. Below you'll find a list with the best and most interesting temples and graveyards:. The first stage of the Water of Leith walkway is described here.
This second section begins alongside the river beside the centre, passing under two impressive arched structures - the aquaduct carrying the Union Canal and the viaduct carrying the railway. Continue along the riverside walkway, running past a graveyard on the right and then an area of allotments around which both the river and path make a wide loop. Beyond these cross a wooden footbridge and then emerge on the busy A Use the pelican crossing and continue on the riverside path on the farside, soon passing under a rusting iron bridge and past an office block.
After emerging at a road and Saughton Park the route returns to the Water. At the next road cross another pelican crossing and follow the path on the far side, now back by the river and soon passing under a wide railway bridge. Beyond this turn right to cross a hump-back iron footbridge and then continue along the opposite side of the water.
Ignore various other paths that lead back over the river and continue on its right bank. There are now good views of the massive Murrayfield Stadium - home of Scottish rugby - over to the right. The path emerges on a road at a bend; turn left here and then left again to meet the busy A8. Use the pedestrian crossing and head very briefly to the right on the far side before heading left between two stone posts topped with pyramids onto Roseburn Cliff. Next look out for a 'Water of Leith' footpath sign indicating a path on the left.
This passes under an old viaduct now crossed by a cycle route rather than trains and continues by the river - the start of a very pleasant and leafy section of the walkway. Ignore a wooden footbridge which gives access to the excellent National Gallery of Modern Art and pass a weir. Further on a signpost indicates a path a route off right that leads to Haymarket Rail Station, but the walkway continues by the river, soon switching to the north bank at a footbridge. Pass under an arched bridge via a platform suspended over the river there is access to the Dean Gallery by ascending from here.
Do not cross the next iron bridge and pass the bottom of a long flight of wooden steps which climb up to the left. A suspended walkway now leads past an attractive weir passes under another metal footbridge.
