Water park in Edinburgh

“Contacted West Lothian Drainage Services when we started getting some intermittent 'strange smells' outside the house. It wasn't much to go on but David came round, asked questions, assessed the situation and pinpointed the problem. He got straight to work clearing a completely blocked waste water pipe, then spent time making sure the area was thoroughly cleaned and water running freely. Attention to detail was excellent and he kept me updated all the way through the process. A first rate professional and friendly service that we wouldn't hesitate to call again. Thank you so much!”

“There is an outdoor sports building for different watersports plus special types of bikes that can be hired to allow able bodied people carry people with different types of disabilities around the park. The building also has its own car park with blue badge spaces and a new mobile home parking area with facilities. There is another building with a cafe and toilets, plus meeting rooms for private hire. There blue badge parking in front of the entrance to this building. Plus a very large car park nearby. There is a gravel path around the water. There is also mountain bike trails in certain areas of the park. There is a riding stables nearby, but it was closed to public use since before lockdown. There are 3 car park entrances around Lochore Meadows Country Park. The main one from the village of Lochore. The other 2 are accessed from the Kelty side of the park. I have been told that a holiday caravan park is being constructed on the Kelty side of the park. When that will be opened I don't know.”

“Lovely place to chill out enjoy beautiful surroundings and colourful gardens. You can have a walk, read a book enjoy a light lunch, take a seat view the water or Arthur's seat. Then go next door to Jock Tamsins garden as this has lovely flowers, fruit trees, views just as delightful . All free except lunch obviously.”

“This garden has lovely scenery, under the Edinburgh castle. Come here for an escape from the city. It is well maintained and perfect for walks, and picnics. Lots of benches to sit and relax. There is a very good playground for the kids and a beautiful fountain”

“It's been a nice little cruise on the Firth of Forth. I learned a lot about the bridges and islands in the Forth. One can land on Inchcolm Island, but today I just took the short cruise. The crew was perfectly friendly.”

“Corstorphine hill nature reserve, situated beside the Edinburgh zoo, is a peaceful retreat with beautiful greenery and some wildlife. It has nice trails and spots for picnics. It is a perfect place for a relaxing day outdoors.”

“The Royal Mile is an amazing place to visit in Scotland. Full of history, beautiful old buildings, and a great atmosphere. There are many shops, cafés, and historic attractions along the way. It’s a perfect place for walking, taking photos, and learning about Scottish culture. A must-visit place when you are in Edinburgh.”

“First time exploring Cammo Estate and what a lovely serene place it was. Meandering meadows and woodland walks, dotted with ruins and a wee lake. It's quite small but perfect for an afternoon exploring. Toilets were open nearby the Leaf and Bean coffee van (on a Sunday, check opening times as I think they vary). Will definitely come back!”

“Nice wander up past the Royal Observatory, and you get some fabulous views over Edinburgh.”

“Amazing island to walk out to at low tide. (I like to arrive 2 hours before low tide to give plenty time to cross and wander at a slow pace round the wartime batteries. The anti submarine structure is an interesting sight too”

“1 mile walk to the island over a somewhat slippy path. Beautiful views of the ocean and beach. Beware of tide times they're faster than you think”

“This is a must see in Edinburgh - simply the best thing I’ve visited in years. £21 entry is hugely impressive value for a moment in history . We spent over 2 hours on the self guided tour which was excellent. Visiting the on board cafe too was really great. The employees there are a credit to the whole atmosphere and were so friendly. Lots of interest for everyone including kids with hoot stops on board with bits of uniform etc”

“Very friendly and helpful. Good knowledge of area and places to go. Facilities were excellent, level ground to park on. We were very pleased and will book the site again and let friends and family how good the place is.”

“Unlike Charlotte Sq at the other end of George St this is very definitely open to the public and as a result feels like a vital piece of greenery in the city centre , its always busy with visitors , shoppers and office workers enjoying the open spaces and /or a coffee from the small costa shack”

“Great team, very professional yet really friendly and supportive. Coaching and teaching was some of the best I have ever had, allowed me to make really quick yet safe progression with kiteboarding. Highly recommended”

“Excellent park. Well kept, clean & tidy! Swings, slides, flying fox etc for the children (Inc bucket swing for extra security) large green area, friendly dogs welcome to run but lifting number 2's essential! Solid path all the way around, perfect for kids biking or a morning run! Car park at gate, free some months of the year, otherwise there is a parking charge. Look out for the beautiful birds kept on premises! :)”

“Free parking at the right hand side (coop shop)than you need to go down the seaside,the view is stunning,would recommend to visit if you’re at Edinburgh”

“Nice walk through the woods at Corstorphine Hill to the tower. You can only view it, the door was locked. Lots of birdsong and lots of butterflies. The walked garden us also worth a visit.”

“An unusual and well maintained little space, quite different from the usual planting one finds in public spaces and very much in keeping with its beach surroundings. The Coade stone pillars are really quite striking and it's worth taking the time to have a good look at them and read about them on the interpretation boards. They are made from Coade stone, a type of weather-resistant ceramic. The pillars are listed structures and date back to the early 19th century. They were originally located in the garden of Argyle House, Hope Lane. The Portobello Amenity Society restored the pillars and erected them in the community garden. The Portobello Community Garden is a popular spot for spending contemplative time. There is relaxed seating behind a fence that protects you from the wind. The wide flat paths allow easy access for all. The garden is a delightful area, a corner of tranquillity in contrast to the busy beach area.”

“The waterfalls is lovely. There is a beautiful walkway along the Almond river, took it and reached the beach. It's a perfect short walk!”

“Small lighthouse at the entrance to Newhaven Harbour on the Firth of Forth. Made from cast iron and finished in 1878, it was decommissioned in 1942. There is no entry for visitors, but Forth Ports have relit it with coloured lights, which makes for a pleasant spectacle.”

“My husband & I absolutely enjoyed the tour Sep 10 2025 our guide explained the beautiful castle & it’s three interesting previous owners really well & he encouraged any questions from guests the gardens were wonderful a joy to see if you are visiting Edinburgh we recommend it”

“A series of artificial lagoons created from old ash settling ponds, now a vital sanctuary for coastal birds. This industrially reclaimed site is a premier spot for birdwatching, particularly for waders and wildfowl, demonstrating successful habitat creation and environmental management on the Forth estuary.”

“Plenty too do my girl loved it no bad price too get in good variety of animals too see only thing a felt was it was waste of££ for train ride as we only seen couple of horses and sum sheep couple of ducks another down side was the wasps that was going about still five star for me”

“We ate Rice, Lamb curry and vegan haggis. All the foods taste delicious. Honestly I felt the taste of my homeland. We really liked the food. Staff are friendly and the restaurant has a cozy environment. For authentic Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine, I will recommend this restaurant.”

“Beautiful gardens. Made better for our visit by the flawless weather. The entrance is slightly hidden and could be made more obvious. We drive straight past it. Parking is in the road outside.”

“Lovely walk to this beautiful harbour, very peaceful place and Nice clean toilets too.”

“The staff was superb helping us out, gave great recommendations. Short walk to the bust stop making it easy to get to downtown Edinburgh. We have camped all over the United States and now have 10 days in Scotland under our belt. This facility has the best and cleanest bathrooms/showers anywhere.”

“Decided to stay at the Riccarton Inn while working in the area and glad I did. Rooms are basic, but comfortable and are perfect for my needs. The bar seems very popular with locals, despite this, the service is swift and even though we have only been there once we were well attended to. The food is excellent, as is the beer! I will be back in the area in a couple of weeks and will be booking into The Riccarton Inn. Don't be put off by the lack of an available breakfast, just head along to Molly's or Corner Cafe for a fantastic breakfast. It's understandable that no breakfast is provided as there are only 5 bedrooms.”
