Water of Leith Walkway | A Riverside Walk Through Edinburgh

A long, uninterrupted walk along the Water of Leith, following the river as it quietly cuts through the city. This long walk follows the Water of Leith Walkway, tracing the river as it winds quietly through many different areas of the city. Beginning on Colt Bridge near Roseburn Cliff, the route quickly transitions to wooded paths, stone walls, and flowing water that make this path so well-known. The walk toward the National Galleries and Life Tribute AIDS Memorial Park toward the Water of Leith Weir, where the route steadily becomes more residential as it approaches Hawthornbank Lane and its views of Dean Village. From there, it's along Miller Row, with its views of the Rhema Christian Centre Church, before passing beneath the breathtaking Dean Bridge toward St Bernard’s Well where this video ends. This video shows a different side of Edinburgh compared to the other videos I recorded in the city. Nature videos never really do well on YouTube, but this video was a request. It was my first video in Edinburgh and a great starting point for my exploration. It's the last video I'm posting from there for now, so I hope it's as good of a closer. Filmed on Panasonic GH5S with a DJI Ronin RS4 Mini stabilizer in November 2025. If you enjoyed this video, please consider supporting the channel by subscribing.
