Guidebook for Edinburgh
Parks & Nature
Our property is also just a few steps away from the Water of Leith which provides a lovely walkway (at corner where Magdala & Douglas Crescent meet) to enjoy some peace & quiet in the city.
If you'd like to enjoy some Art take a short 10 minute walk along the Water of Leith to the Gallery of Modern Art & the Dean Gallery (as long as you don't mind steps). Nice place to stop for a coffee or lunch (especially in good weather - sitting outside in the walled garden).
The Dean Village is also a hidden gem of the city which is less than 15 minutes walk along.
