About this book

Walks near Edinburgh is a book by Margaret Warrender. The dedication says that the book is dedicated to the writer's grand-aunt Lady John Scott, from whom many of the stories are derived. The contents list for Walk I names, among others, Bruntisfield, St. Margaret's Convent and Hermitage of Braid.

The text asks the reader to call back the past as it was two hundred and fifty years ago, when an open, undulating muirland covered with whin and broom lay before them. The text calls the Wryteshouse the ancient home of the Napiers, its walls enriched with quaint carvings and inscriptions. The text says that, when the North British Railway threatened to bury a curious well beneath its embankment, Dr. Laing and other enlightened and energetic antiquarians of the day made a successful attempt to move the whole well to the Queen's Park.
