Water of Leith Walkway Bridge Reflection
The Water of Leith Walkway in Edinburgh now extends 12 miles from the Firth of Forth to Balerno. It's an extraordinarily varied and picturesque walk. Much of it also a cycle path, and the whole length is cyclable if you can manage narrow sections of path and are prepared to do a bit of bicycle lugging up steps. It's also not well known, since the map detail required to see that it exists, and where you can get onto it and off it, doesn't exist on most of the easily available public maps.
The photograph is taken from the other side of a small pedestrian bridge which takes the walkway over to the other side. You can see part of the walkway on the other side of the river. It passes under the bridge. A weir on the other side of the bridge, from the old days of industrial water power, makes the water here deep and smooth.
In effect when you enter the walkway by one of its often disguised portals you leave the streets of urban Edinburgh and enter another parallel world.
