Edinburgh's Water of Leith may not be as famous as London's Thames or Newcastle's Tyne rivers but it shares an equally fascinating past. This industrial history is revealed in this unique Interactive Guided Tour.

Most of our Edinburgh guided tours have a strong history bias and this one is no different. Although the cycleway, which this virtual tour generally follows, takes in some of the prettiest areas in Edinburgh, this tour also looks at the remnants of the rivers industrial path.

The Water of Leith walkway and cycyleway is now a popular place for people to stroll and relax amidst some of the most picturesque scenery available in Edinburgh. This virtual tour captures some of these stunning scenes and explains some of the history behind one of Edinburgh's most scenic locations.

Many of the most important industrial locations are covered as well as some of the prettiest spots on the river. The tour joins the river at Balerno and stays with it right down to the port of Leith.

Much of this virtual tour was filmed and photographed in the autum and the riot of colours along the cycleway ensures you see the river at its best. Video recordings on many of the locations bring the photographs to life.

The Water of Leith Interactive Guided Tour follows a path which is split into three seperate tours. Tour one takes you from Balerno to Slateford and includes a tour around Colinton Village, tour two goes from Slateford to Stockbridge and the final tour takes you from Stockbridge to Leith.

The Water of Leith tour takes you down the length of the Water of Leith Walkway. It was filmed during early October in order to catch the wonderful autumnal colours.

The Water of Leith's industrial past is evident at times and we learn about the human alterations to the river over the centuries.

Video clips have been included to compliment the panoramic photographs. These photos can be viewed in full screen and the movement and sound captured in the video clips give you a really immersive exploration of the Water of Leith.
