The Pentlands Open Studio (POSt) Art Trail takes place on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 August 2025. It offers a chance to explore the vibrant creativity of 18 professional artists. These artists are located across 10 studio locations along the upper valley of the Water of Leith near Edinburgh.

The trail is about four miles from Balerno to Colinton. The scenic path along the old railway is flat and perfect for walking or cycling. You can hop on and off Lothian buses (44, 45, 16) using a day ticket. Contactless payment offers even more savings with capping.

Make a stop at the Pit Stop Café in Colinton. It will serve as our info hub with brochures, maps, and toilets. Collect stamps from studios and enter our prize draw for artist vouchers or wine!

Thanks to generous community donations from CBDRT and Scotmid, we’ve supported Hub@531 (Venue 5) in upgrading their hanging system. This upgrade allows artwork to be displayed on two walls instead of just one.
