Water of Leith at Haughhead

The is the Water of Leith just a few mile from its source at Haughhead, snaking its way across some flat ground before it tumbles down to the sea.

A few miles up stream, it leaves the Harperrig Reservoir 300m above sea level. Here we are about 185m above sea level, at a relatively flat point in the river's descent to sea level.

Only a few years ago, the road used to ford the river at this point, but now there is a modern bridge, from which I can take this photo without getting my feet wet. That's despite the fact the road signs for the ford are still there at either end of the road.
