The Water of Leith Walkway can be considered to be one of the great delights to be found in Edinburgh. For almost 11 miles it cuts right through the heart of Edinburgh from Leith, through Canonmills, alongside the colonies, past the Botanic gardens, through Stockbridge, Dean Village, past Murrayfield and the Museum of Modern Art and on to Balerno. The city Centre sections pass through a great gorge that shield the Walkway from much of the city, providing a haven for
wildlife and a favourite route for runners and cyclists. The paths are generally well maintained and the atmosphere is serene and unexpected. A real treat.

I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
