It's a leisurely local walk along one side of The water of Leith from Currie library stopping to the Allotment just before Lanark Road, crossing over the bridge and returning on the other side of the Water of Leith to Spylaw park and from there we will return on the same side as the path we took when we left Currie library.

There are a few steps but nothing too strenuous.

Please WhatsApp or text the leader if you would like to book a place on this walk with your name and mobile telephone number, and advise if you have a medical condition relevant to your walking. Please also provide an emergency contact number.

We regret that no dogs are allowed on our walks.
