But when the youngster started running, the man allegedly gave chase.
The mum said in a social media post that the man was only wearing black pants, which looked like speedos, and a light blue v-neck t-shirt.
She said her young daughter is “upset and very shaken” following her reported ordeal as she urged anyone with information or CCTV footage to contact police.
According to the mum, the man was in his late 40s or early 50s and between 5ft9 and 6ft with grey stubble and thinning hair.
The incident is understood to have happened between 12.25pm and 12.35pm on Wednesday.
Police have confirmed they are investigating reports of a man acting suspiciously, reports the Daily Record.
They have so far been unable to trace the man – but are continuing to probe the report.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 1.10pm on Wednesday, 23 March, police were called to Buckstone in Edinburgh, following a report of a man acting suspiciously in a nearby wooded area.
