Pencaitland Railway Walk Start: Near West Saltoun Finish: Crossgatehall Distance: 10.5 Km / 6.5 Miles (one way) Time: 3 hours Terrain: Well surfaced wide and level path Directions: Follow the road south west out of West Saltoun for one kilometre. You will see a small parking area on the south side of the road and the railway heading off to the north. There are several other points of access onto the railway walk at Pencaitland, Ormiston, Elphinstone and at Crossgatehall. At the western end of the railway walk, it is possible to continue to the Smeaton Railway, which can be followed to Whitecraig and then on to Musselburgh. Points of Interest: 1. Former Railway Line The western end of this disused railway line was built in 1867. It was extended as far as Gifford by 1901 and was used until 1965 when it was closed. There are various interpretation panels and markers, which describe the history of this route. 2. Lots of wildlife watching opportunities Hedgerows, burns and woodland along the route provide a varied habitat for a great diversity of wildlife and rare wild flowers. 3. Carberry Hill Where Mary Queen of Scots surrendered to the Confederate Lords in 1567. A lovely woodland walk with great views over Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth. 4. Saltoun Forest This is a lovely area of mixed woodland offering a variety of walks. Public Transport: Regular bus and rail service to Pencaitland and Ormiston. There is no public transport to the car parks at either end of the walk. Local Services: Shops, eating places and public toilets in Pencaitland and Ormiston. .
