On March 17, I walked the first eight miles of the Water of Leith Walkway, a path that spans 12 miles from Balerno, a suburb southwest of Edinburgh, to the Leith Docks, not terribly far from where I live.
The reason why I didn't do the full 12 miles was this:
It's a lovely walk, and doing the full length of it is definitely on the agenda. I've revisited the first bit once or twice since then.

On March 31 (my birthday, incidentally), my plan was to go for a ramble in the Pentland Hills. There's a sign on the Water of Leith pointing that way, so I took it. I didn't quite make it all the way into the hills, but it was a nice day and I did walk through some nice fields.
Cheers, y'all.
