Roslin Glen

Some fantastic large trees here. Also make sure you head right down to the river and then go upstream under a little waterfall. Lovely rock formations too. An enchanting little gorge.

Roslin Glen is possibly one of the most beautiful places to escape to if you’re tired of the city (not that Edinburgh feels much like a city at all). You can take a walk along North Esk river, visit the chapel or just hang around the greens. By greens, I mean trees and bushes and things that have leaves.
My first experience with Roslin Glen was for a friend’s birthday where we dressed up as characters from Peter Pan and went on treasure hunts. Yes, it was her 24^th.
The area’s really beautiful. Really calming and possibly the closest and best place to run off to from Edinburgh. It’s only a bus ride outside the city.
