  • Volunteer News February 2016
    Volunteer News February 2016 Welcome! To the first issue of what will probably be monthly output, with news, views, and any other information related to ELC Conservation Volunteering. It will showcase volunteer activity across the county so we can see what each other gets up to, share ideas and stories and generally marvel at the hours and effort we all put in. Please send in photos, articles, thoughts, suggestions for future editions. You can get in touch with me at [email protected]. All feedback is welcome Volunteer Development – Katty Baird I’ve been volunteering for East Lothian Council Countryside team for about four years, putting in most hours at Yellowcraig but occasionally venturing slightly further to the east and west. Spiders are probably my area of expertise but I have a fondness for many unloved and under-studied creatures without a backbone. At the end of 2015 I idly enquired of Duncan if there were any voluntary projects I could get involved with, possibly to augment my cv just in case a ‘proper’ job comes my way. And so, on the back of feedback from last years volly jolly, here I am. My remit is reasonably loose and will follow what the needs and wants of you, the conservation volunteers are. At the moment I think the general aim is to help coordinate activities across the county and to organise training or workshops as needed. This training will hopefully enable you to take on new tasks if you wish but also enable you to improve your knowledge of the countryside and have some fun.

  • Pencaitland Railway Walk
    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.
