There is an unusual spot in Edinburgh that often puts a smile on my face because of its cottage feel within the city. It is in the Granton-Wardie Bay area. The Wardie Bay Area has definitely come into its own. It has become a frequent pastime for the locals. It is a lovely spot to just relax.
It has a seafront feel even without the water. The painted coloured residences gives that feel. The homes proudly line the harbour.
But with all that and as much as I enjoy this spot, this is not the spot. However, it is close by.
Just South of Wardie Bay is a path that leads into Wardie Steps. It is walking this path that gives me the cottage, seaside feel! I think it is because it is unexpected.
This narrow lane leads to white-painted cottages and a rainbow of coloured homes.
It is a little hamlet with an air of coastal living right in the Bonnie capital.
Yes, this is what makes me smile. A delightful path to the Wardie Bay waterfront.
