Natural reserve in the city
Hermitage Of Braid
Why locals love it
Hermitage of Braid is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the Scottish capital. This 130-acre natural reserve is actually located in the city, but it's so calm and quiet that it feels to be miles away. With its central location it is a favourite spot of families, dog walkers, runners, cyclists and wildlife lovers.
Why you should visit it
Have a peaceful walk in the valley of the Braid Burn river and enjoy nature - in the middle of the Scottish capital. The Hermitage of Braid is an excellent place for nature walks with mixed woodland, grassland and marshland paths and a great opportunity to see local wildlife.
Special tip
Listen carefully to hear the woodpeckers and don't be surprised to see a fox hunting for its bunny dinner.
