Un curieux monument à découvrir au cours d'une balade bucolique le long de la Water of Leith

Nice place for a walk and the monument itself was nice.

Loved this gem on a short walk before dinner and was super surprised to get to watch a couple of otters in the water enjoying their dinner! Read later that a couple of hours before sunset is a good time to observe otters and that it’s best to be still and quiet so as not to disturb them.
