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
