  • Mid Calder to Kirkliston
    Mid Calder to Kirkliston Third leg of a 4-part route down the full length of the valley of the River Almond. Starts Mid Calder. Good (quarter hourly) bus service from Edinburgh and Livingstone (X27, X28). Ends Kirkliston. Quarter hourly bus (38) to Edinburgh. Also buses 63 and 600. Varied walk: visiting Almondvale Country Park, Canal feeder channel, Union Canal, site of Newbridge chariot burial, Huly Hill tumulus and standing stones. With your back to the ‘Fork and Field’ pub turn right along the pavement for a few paces. Turn right down Gasworks Brae, at a notice board and footpath sign. Bear left to cross the left-hand bridge, and pass beneath the imposing road bridge. This substantial stone structure was constructed around 1795 in order to carry the great turnpike road between Edinburgh and Glasgow. It replaced a previous bridge shown on the earliest detailed map of the Lothians (drawn in 1636). At the far side turn right up steep steps. At the top turn left along the footpath. A T-junction is reached within 400m. Turn right and follow the R. Almond downstream. After passing an impressive the weir go left over a footbridge. At the far side note the channel fed by the weir. We follow this canal feeder channel for over 4km. Turn right along the footpath. Continue downstream all the way to the Almondell & Calderwood Country Park Visitor Centre (cafe & toilets). Beyond the Centre pass old stables and bear right to cross the Mandela Bridge. Turn left downstream. After many gates and stiles, as the Almond Aqueduct comes into view, climb up right to a roadway which leads to the Lins Mill canal basin.

  • 4. the Water of Leith As Stated in the Introduction, This Will Be a Briefer
    4. The Water of Leith As stated in the Introduction, this will be a briefer account than those for the other rivers, following the same template in the upper reaches, but focussing on tributaries past and present once within the city boundary of Edinburgh, until the last stretch through Leith. The sources of the Water of Leith are springs at near 400m height on the northern slopes of West Cairn Hill and Colzium Hill, in the Pentland Range. These feed three streams, rather unimaginatively named, ‘West Burn’, ‘Mid Burn’, and ‘East Burn’, which join together near the hamlet of Colzium, to form the Water of Leith, at Grid Reference NT 086 589. From here, the small river winds north-east for c2.5km until it enters Harperrig Reservoir. This large artificial body of water has a surface area of 94 hectares, and is shaped something like an open-mouthed flounder, with its tail to the south-west, where the Water of Leith enters, and with its jaws to the east. The reservoir was opened in 1860, and its function was to store water which could be used, especially during dry spells, to compensate for water abstracted from the springs referred to above, their effusions having been piped into the Edinburgh water supply. Reservoir water was released as needed to maintain the river flow which drove many mills in the 19th century. Somewhat perversely, its function has turned full-circle, as with the mills defunct, it now holds back water which would otherwise increase the risk of flooding in Edinburgh after heavy rain.
