• Dean Village - A stunningly pretty former mill village located in Dean Vally by the fast flowing Water of Leith. See 17th century buildings as well as potentially wildlife including herons and otters. A taste of the Highlands only ten minutes walk from Princes Street!

• Water of Leith Walkway - We’ll walk down the river path, maybe spotting the local otters, birdlife and a few indigenous Edinburghers too! There’s local history too!
• Stockbridge Market - When you do this tour on Sunday, you’ll pass by the Stockbridge market
