A gentle wander from Princes Street Gardens — Wojtek the soldier bear, the Scottish American war memorial and a clutch of Victorian worthies — through Charlotte Square to the leafy Dean valley, where St Bernard's Well presides over the Water of Leith. Finish among the cafés of Stockbridge, spotting a Gormley figure standing in the river on the way.
