Granton Castle Walled Garden has stood on the coast of north Edinburgh since the turn of the 16th century and is managed by the Friends’ charity community group. It is a historic green-space where anyone can volunteer or visit. It has listed walls and a doocot (but the Castle was demolished, alas) with a variety of wild and cultivated areas.
Activities
Starting just inside the Garden, the walk will cover both the north and south sides of the Garden. Fairly level but a slight incline half way round.

2025 Theme - Architectural Heritage: Windows to the Past, Doors to the Future
The walls, doocot and environs are all B Listed. The Garden appears in very old maps along with the (now demolished) Castle. See http://canmore.org.uk/site/52042 for more information.

The garden has fairly level paths with only a slight incline between the upper (southside) garden and the lower market garden side. Please note the toilet is a composting toilet. It is not an ‘accessible’ toilet. Limited on street parking on West Shore Road. The Garden is just off Spiers Bruce Cycle Path which leads down from bus stops opposite No1 Waterfront Avenue to West Shore Road near The Pitt. Since The Pitt opened, parking can be limited, but it should be possible to drop off someone with limited mobility up near the Social Bite housing (and then find parking). The interior of the Doocot is not accessible to anyone.
