The Water of Leith runs for roughly 18 miles from the Pentland Hills through the villages of Balerno, Currie, Juniper Green and Colinton, then through Edinburgh to the Firth of Forth at Leith. The twelve mile stretch of river from Balerno to Leith covered by the Water of Leith walkway is accessible to pedestrians and bikes.
Glenogle Road crosses the Water of Leith by the iron Falshaw Bridge, built in 1877 by the engineer, David Proudfoot. The structure was renewed in 1956 with pre-stressed concrete beams. The Falshaw Bridge, named after Lord Provost Falshaw who opened the bridge in 1877, replaced an earlier wooden footbridge beside an ancient ford across the Water of Leith at the west end of Glenogle Road.
