Break in walkway

Waypoint

The path breaks where it crosses under the Union Canal and the signposting here is confusing. After crossing a footbridge over the duel carriageway Lanark Road there are two ways of continuing.

1. Turn right and descend steps to the Lanark Road. Go down the road in the direction of Edinburgh. Cross over a roundabout, still going in the same direction, and after a few hundred feet you will come to the Water of Leith Visitors Centre. The path can be rejoined here.
2. Join the Union Canal and proceed in the direction of Edinburgh. After you have passed over a viaduct there are steps leading down to the path close to the Water of Leith Visitors Centre.
