"This is a great pond to take the kids to and you can feed the birds.... normally! Unfortunately there are a group of locals who seem to think this will spread bird flu so are currently stopping you from doing this. All this means is the birds have to go further afield to get their food and so increase the chance of spreading the disease. There are swans on the meadows and I now know why!"
"Nice to look at Edinburgh city from this perspective on the top of hill here. For longer stay if any of my friends may come to visit Edinburgh, I would recommend them to go there, great view!"
"Absolutely loved my walk here, the nature is beautiful it even has a little river. And that all in the city. It was very calm, there were many dogs but that made my walk even better! It’s definitely worth it to climb up the hill, it has a great view over the city."
