Edinburgh Mela
The Edinburgh Mela (http://www.edinburgh-mela...) is a multi-cultural festival, largely based around South-Asian traditions. The festival takes place in the first week of August in Leith Links, a large park to the east of the foot of Leith Walk.
Water of Leith Walkway
Walk or cycle along the Water of Leith Walkway (http://www.waterofleith.o...). The route starts from the harbour and follows the river right through the City to the suburb of Balerno, on the edge of the Pentland Hills. The walkway is indicated by brown direction signs featuring a water wheel logo. For most of the route the river is flanked on one or both sides by woodland, and it's often hard to believe you're in the heart of a major city. There are brown trout plus a dozen other species of fish in the river and birds including the grey heron, goosander, dipper and kingfisher can be seen along the banks. If you're very lucky you may see badgers or otters.
Fishing (Angling)
Is possible along most of the length of the water of leith. permits are required, and can be obtained free of charge from the city council (http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk) offices at waverley market in the new town and cockburn street in the old town. most fishing tackle shops throughout the city can also provide permits.
