A morning walk at the Colinton Dell Path

Colinton Bridge into Colinton Dell Path

The name of Colinton comes from the Gaelic Baile Cholgain, meaning village in the woods — having passed through the wooded dell, it’s easy to see why. Cross the bridge over the river, then bear left onto Spylaw Street. After crossing a smaller bridge, you’ll arrive at Colinton Parish Church.

Retrace your steps back into the dell and through the railway tunnel (take the chance to read the poem the correct way this time!), then continue to follow the path above the river. Shortly after passing the second of two weirs, the path splits to lead down towards the river on your right (approx. NT 21660 70000). Follow the path here to reach a small stone bridge across the Water of Leith.
