May 22, 2017 - We found this place by accident today. We went for a walk in our neighborhood and underneath a large bridge there was this lovely path.
It wound along ancient old mills and the river is called "Water of Leith". Like many things in this very old city it was not always so lovely. In the late 1700's this water used to have the nick name "Tumble turd".
Thankfully it is clean and well preserved today (No I didn't drink the water). It is just downstream from St Bernard's Well. A well of mineral water that was felt to have miraculous powers.
Our thoughts turn to home. Tomorrow is our last day here.
