Water of Leith Visitor Centre

24 Lanark Road
0131 455 7367

The Water of Leith runs right through Edinburgh and you can follow its path on the Water of Leith Walkway all the way from Balerno in the south to the port of Leith at the sea. Halfway along the walk, at Slateford, is this visitor centre, which has an interactive exhibition on the river's heritage and wildlife. You can watch the life of the river through the video well, control the ebb and flow of the water, cause a flood and try to stop the giant waterwheel. The sights and sounds of the riverbank are captured on the "call of the wild" wall.
