The walk is glorious at this time of year and the lucky tourists who discover it are transported to a lush cool walkway with the illusion at times of being deep in the Scottish countryside. The locals, including me, take it for granted that this winding path will take us into town bypassing all traffic, noise and pollution (apart from the odd bike whizzing past). I feel the urge to purchase a vintage bike with a wicker basket on the front for cycling along to the market to buy my weekly artisan bread and cheese. Pictures to come!
Thumper, the dog, has grown up walking, sniffing and playing with his friends along here and it's the perfect safe place for him off lead - I think he actually believes this is his back garden that he kindly shares with others!
Entrance to the market...
Paella Stall - this has a very long queue every week.....
Too delicious to even try to describe
It's a vibrant market, especially on a sunny Sunday.
There are cheese stalls, meat stalls, artisan bread stalls, brownie stalls, soap and handmade potion stalls, and even a doggy treat stall (yes, Thumper did get a bag of Liver Cake Treats)
St Bernards Well was open today and we had a peek inside.
And isn't it beautiful?!
Thumper struck a pose and I fudged it ;)
Gardens along the path - these are private gardens for the New Town flats above, just out of view.
A magical walk into the shade.
Stockbridge Market is open every Sunday 10am til 5pm.
We walked along the Water of Leith from Roseburn to Stockbridge and back.
