Stockbridge

Market, river and Sunday walks

Stockbridge sits along the Water of Leith north of the New Town. The official city guide lists parks, shops and a family-friendly market.

Stockbridge Market runs every Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00 in Jubilee Gardens. The Water of Leith Walkway passes through with an audio trail, and the Rocheid Path is a short woodland stretch beside the river.

The Bailie Bar on St Stephen Street has stood since the 1870s and serves food from 12:00 to 20:45. St Bernard's Well and the Stockbridge Colonies are both listed on the official city guide's Stockbridge page.

Getting there
