Additional Info

PLEASE NOTE: We have had to change the time of this event from the time advertised on our posters. It will now start at 10:30am rather than 1:30pm

Continuing our theme of hands on guided walks, Ranger Johnny will be leading you off the footpath and in to the river.

As we wade the river from Stockbridge. You will experience the river from a completely different perspective and get up close to the river and its habitats showcasing the heritage and wildlife of the river, from the river.

Please note, this walk will be more strenuous than our usual events. You will be in the river on uneven ground where you may not be able to see your feet. Whilst safety measures will be in place a degree of fitness and balance is required. Waders will be provided.

Note: if river levels are high it will be cancelled or postponed.

Crossing the Water of Leith: Bridges through time

Many of us enjoy walking beside the Water of Leith, following its riverside path, but how often do we stop to notice the bridges we cross, the ones carrying roads over the river, or even those that seem to lead nowhere? In early 2023, ecologist Lynda Hepburn explored the length of the river with a friend trained as an engineer, discovering a fascinating array of structures that span the water and uncovering some of the Water of Leith’s rich and often overlooked history. Join Lynda on this illustrated journey from Leith to the river’s source and discover the stories behind its bridges—you’ll never look at the Water of Leith in quite the same way again
