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.
Dean Bridge links Queensferry Street with Queensferry Road over the Water of Leith. It was designed by Thomas Telford and built in 1832 as part of Edinburgh's northward expansion. It rises 32 metres above the Water of Leith close to Dean Village.
