Embark on a walk through the most scenic, charming, and historic city districts outside the Old Town of Edinburgh. Walk by waterfalls, through charming hidden streets, and much more as you meander through Dean Village, the Water of Leith, and Circus Lane.

Get away from the tourist trail in Edinburgh in your first port of call: Dean Village. Boasting architecture dating back to the 1600s, this quaint neighbourhood is perched alongside the only river that runs through Edinburgh, the Water of Leith.

Learn how the river sustains local otters, bird life, and a whole host of flora and fauna which helps make Edinburgh the greenest city in the UK. Then, discover the charming, hidden Circus Lane with its delightful cozy houses right in the center of the city.
