Built in 1824, St Bernard's Bridge beautifully spans over the tranquil Water of Leith in Stockbridge. This grand, Jacobean-style stone staircase is believed to have likely been added around 1888 during the restoration of St Bernard's Well, funded by William Nelson.

Some beautiful autumn colours on show today in Craiglockhart Dell. This morning we ran a water safety training session for The Green Team staff to share our knowledge. Of course we took them for a wade so they could experience the water first hand.

A changeable morning on the walkway between West Mill Rd and Upper Spylaw Farm. We gave the walkway a good sweep off, refreshed the drainage ditches, cut back some encroaching vegetation, & had tea in the rain before planting bulbs in the sunshine. Great work folks, thanks! ☔🌞

In Edinburgh briefly on Friday so walked a couple of miles of the Water of Leith. Trout from Glenogle Place bridge; Dipper at Dean bridge probably appearing, unnoticed, in hundreds of tourist photos; Heron and Kingfisher behind Modern One.

A good turn out of volunteers for our monthly clean up of Leith. The boat team removed lots of waste that had been washed down including 2 litter carts, whilst on dry land we continued to clear leaves to keep the walkway in good order. The City of Edinburgh Council

They seek the rubbish here, they seek the rubbish there, volunteers seek it everywhere. Thus it was great to get a hand from employees of trainline , who have been out over the past two weeks cleaning up their local stretch of the walkway as part of their working day.
