No dog walker listed in Colinton yet.

A dog walker takes your dog out for regular exercise when you're at work, away or unable to walk them yourself.

A reliable local walker who knows your dog, your neighbourhood and your routine is worth their weight in gold - especially for working dog owners.

Ask how many dogs they walk at once, whether they're insured and whether they have references from other local dog owners.

Colinton is a former village on the Water of Leith in south-west Edinburgh, now a leafy suburb that retains a strong village identity.

Robert Louis Stevenson spent childhood holidays at Colinton Manse and his connection to the village is celebrated with literary references throughout.

Colinton has a village centre with a church, local shops and a community feel and is within easy reach of the Pentland Hills and the city bypass.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.

The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core - but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.

From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.

The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education and the arts - the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.

Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
