	West Coates Roseburn bridge 1280 x 989 397K	If the river level is high then this might be the best route because the waterside footpath from Roseburn to Belford is the first to be flooded.
	Roseburn Water of Leith 0 1152 x 864 339K	November 2002 is when the next 2 photos were taken. To gain access to this path you would enter the street called Roseburn Cliff. Under these conditions you would have to turn back and detour round by the high bridge.
	Roseburn Water of Leith 4 1152 x 864 243K	The water is almost up to the top of the railing and is fast and turbulent.
	Roseburn Water of Leith 5 1024 x 768 179K	This picture was taken in November 2000.
	Roseburn Water of Leith 9 1280 x 854 435K	November 2009 and although the path is under water it's not so severe this time. Cumbria had devastating floods but once again Edinburgh's geography saved it.
	Roseburn Water of Leith 10 1280 x 854 483K	To reach this downstream end of the flooded path it's necessary to come from Belford or down the steps on the left from the high bridge which used to carry the railway line.
	Roseburn Bridge 17 810 x 1080 406K	These are the steps up the side of the bridge. Some cyclists may carry their bikes up and down here as it connects the cycle path to the Water of Leith Walkway - which isn't really suitable for cycling. There are better routes.
	Bridge 17a 1280 x 1024 340K	The opposite view down the steps. Not a wide angle view but zoomed in on the darkness under the bridge.
	Roseburn-Belford 1280 x 850 477K	The path from Roseburn to Belford was a green shady tunnel on this warm day in July 2010.
	Belford a 1024 x 768 154K	Two more images from November 2000 from further downstream near the Belford bridge which carries Belford Road over the Water of Leith. The water is nearly up to the footpath.
	Belford b 1024 x 768 142K	The water was perilously close to the metal footbridge. I remember a feeling of relief once I crossed it.
