Manchester/Scotland 2025 - Edinburgh Water of Leith Walkway from Dean Village to Stockbridge (2/2)

Continuing our walk on the Water of Leith Waterway, we soon arrived at what looked like a park? I want to say urban park cause things started to look a lot more organised and erm, arranged? Man made! Yes, that's the word. 

This is St Bernard's Well. You can read the history of the well here. You would think it would be a very lovely history, but it was actually not! I mean, it looked so pretty and roman-looking, but it was a tragic tale of water contamination and poisoning. If you're a fan of Frankenstein, you might want to visit this site as it was mentioned in the book. I've never related Frankenstein with Edinburgh before. Funny how my world is now collapsing in the more I travel, especially in Europe where my books and stories are mainly focus on.

A peaceful looking sight. 

 

Fun wordings: "The Liberal Deviseth Liberal Things". Of course I have to Google it now, and there is a part two to that wordings! "And by Liberal Things Shall He Stand".  I think I took this of the wordings, and I identified more towards liberalism.  

More park like structure as we continued on our walk. 

Duck! I always love seeing ducks. Wish I could feed them, but I don't have any food on me. And after watching Good Omens, apparently you're not suppose to feed them bread. The correct things to feed them with was frozen peas. Ha! I would have never guess that!

Finally, coming to the end of our walk! Looks like we're hitting a town with all that concrete!

Husband walking though a concrete tunnel and into a proper road. Welcome to Stockbridge!

Love this colourful sign that welcomed us. I think this was a side street we came out from. I think we went back again and sat at one of the residential garden to eat our lunch that day.

One of my favourite find at Stockbridge was this art piece on the river. I wonder how many people actually spotted it. I love it! I know that there is also one of a metal man looking out in one of the Loch/River in Scotland, and I wasn't going to get to see that on my trip, so this naked guy here was a very nice consolation prize for me :)
