The trail invites art lovers to explore the upper valley of the Water of Leith, winding through the villages of Colinton, Juniper Green, Currie, and Balerno.

This event will showcase the work of 18 professional artists and makers, offering a rare opportunity to experience their work up close.

Created by local volunteers, the POSt art trail provides an opportunity to connect with artists in their own studios, see live demonstrations, and purchase original works directly from the creators. The trail features diverse studio spaces, including six working artist studios and four generously donated exhibition spaces:

Craw’s Nest, Currie – A private business space hosting three artists, complete with kitchen and toilet facilities, conveniently located just off Lanark Road West.

Colinton Village Enterprise ‘Shed’– A charming, charity-owned space housed in
historic stone stables within Spylaw Park. Visitors will enjoy the possibility of a pop-up café and toilet facilities.

Hub@531, Juniper Green – A welcoming community-owned venue on Lanark Road,
equipped with kitchen and toilet amenities, ideal for a relaxed and engaging visit.

Garden, Balerno– The beautiful National Trust for Scotland property offering a unique setting for art displays within its greenhouse.

A printed brochure and map will be available to help visitors navigate the trail, showing how the studios are linked via the Water of Leith Walkway. The brochure will also include information on public transport routes, making it easy for cyclists, pedestrians, and those using public transport to plan their visit.

Interested in helping out? Volunteers are welcome to assist in both preparing for and running the event.
