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 a look back at October's 2 min 'Wildlife on the Water of Leith' video, a tawny owl has a bath in the river, a spooky looking fox at Halloween & find out why a young roe deer doesn't need Deliveroo on the #waterofleith! Enjoy! #wildlife #urbanwildlife #edinburgh #urbanriver

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.

Great to have young people from Portobello, Firrhill, and WHEC out at the visitor centre today with the JET Academy, learning some vocational skills for employment. We raked off leaves, keeping the boardwalk and paths safe, and cut back some overhanging privat. Great job guys! ✈️

Big sky country today up at Riccarton, where we've been mapping Japanese Knotweed stands for treatment next year on the Murrayburn. Bag of rubbish collected from the layby as well.

Some snaps from my post run walk at Coalie Park on the Water of Leith. The mural was designed by a former flatmate of mine. #Leith

Thanks to everyone who came out this morning around the Visitor Centre, despite the rain! We raked off the walkway and cut back privat to let more light in and dry up the path. We also collected several bags of rubbish and enjoyed a lovely tea break in the warmth of the centre.😎
