📸 Fancy seeing a different side of Edinburgh?
We've put together one of our favourite self-guided walks through the New Town, connecting some of the city's most photogenic spots in one wonderfully scenic route.
Starting on St Vincent Street, we'll take you through Circus Lane and Stockbridge before joining the Water of Leith and following it past St Bernard's Well, beneath Dean Bridge, past the historic mill wheels and into the heart of Dean Village, finishing at Dean's Brae Bridge.
It's a walk filled with Georgian architecture, cobbled lanes, leafy pathways, flowing water and those little Edinburgh details you only notice when you give yourself permission to slow down.
And that's exactly the point.
You don't need to race around Edinburgh to experience it. Sometimes you just need comfortable shoes, a camera and nowhere else you need to be.
We've shared the full route, photography stops and our tips for capturing it at its best in our latest guide.
