| We never turn down the chance of revisiting Cromarty. Just a handful of views this time, the first of which show the headlands called The Sutors, guarding the entrance / exit to and from Cromarty Firth. Look at that blue sky! |
 |
| South Sutor. |
 |
| Looking across to Nigg on the other side of Cromarty Firth. |

| The Water of Leith flows through Edinburgh to the por tof Leith where it enters the sea via the Firth of Forth. It is 22 miles long starting in the Pentland Hills. It is hard to believe that the walkway featured in this series of photographs is only a matter of a few hundred yards from the bustling city centre of Edinburgh, yet it is so peaceful here, and an area that is missed by tourists, and possibly by some locals as well. |
 |
| The very high road bridge over the Water of Leith. You really are down in a valley here. |
 |
| St. Bernard's Well. A natural spring was discovered in 1760. It soon became a visitor attraction, as at that time 'taking the waters' was thought to be very good for the health and well being of people. |
 |
| The building was designed by Alexander Nasmyth in 1789 and the statue inside represents Hygela, the Greek Goddess of health. |
 |
| Looking back at St. Bernard's Well. |
 |
| This really is a most delightful and easy walk. |
