The most beautiful natural sites to discover Edinburgh

Famous for his in situ interventions in important British cities, the London sculptor Antony Gormley has installed a set of human silhouettes carved in the River Leith. The first is buried shoulder-deep in front of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the other five are in the water. You can be surprised by their presence as you take a pleasant walk along the green banks of the river, which you catch up with from the museum, to Dean Village and to the port of Leith, where the last sculpture is located.
