The Braid Burn is a 9-mile stream flowing through the south and east of Edinburgh, Scotland, draining a basin of approximately 12 square miles. Rising near Bonaly in the Pentland Hills to the southwest of the city, it travels in a generally north-easterly direction, passing through Braid Valley Park, the Hermitage of Braid, Blackford Glen, Cameron Toll, and Inch Park before joining the Pow Burn at Peffermill. At Duddingston, it transitions into the Figgate Burn and ultimately enters the Firth of Forth at Portobello. The burn passes through a mix of semi-natural greenspace and urban environments, giving it a distinctive character that blends accessible city fishing with pockets of more naturalistic riparian habitat.
