[Tomphubil limekiln]

Tomphubil limekiln is set remotely on the pass between Tummel Bridge and Appin of Dull. If you happen to be passing - probably before or after climbing Schiehallion - this 19th century piece of agricultural heritage is worth stopping for. The hillside setting with views over Loch Kinardochy is a bonus.

Walk: Livingston's jaw-dropping waterfall

Image
West Lothian | Livingston | Short walk | ★★★ ⚠ Route currently impassable - see red text below [Linn Jaw lower falls] What springs to mind when someone mentions Livingston, West Lothian? Sprawling road junctions, retail parks, 1960s architecture... how about a splendid waterfall? Under a mile from the town's southernmost suburbs, the Camilty Water drops into a short but beautiful gorge sharply at odds with the gentleness of the surrounding farmland. Two substantial waterfalls and several smaller ones tumble into the depths; the largest is actually fed by a crumbling mill lade (the mill no longer exists) but this isn't obvious from below. Parking is limited, but the walk from the nearest road begins promisingly. The last few hundred metres of the route are however a bit sketchy: stepping stones across a side burn, and a very slippery slope to reach the best viewpoint - more details below.

Walk: Towpath, tunnel & Colinton Dell

Image
City of Edinburgh | Slateford | Short walk | ★★★ [Colinton Dell] The southwestern suburbs of Edinburgh conceal a true wee gem. Colinton Dell is one of the most intimate and scenic sections of the Water of Leith, carved deep into the bedrock between Slateford and Colinton. Loved by locals, it's well worth a quick trip out by bus for visitors staying in the city centre. This intricate circuit by canal towpath, dismantled railway (featuring a tunnel covered in eye-catching murals) and riverside path explores the water course on two vertical levels, with options for refreshments at the halfway point in Colinton Village - from where we feature a longer extension to Torduff Reservoir and Bonaly Country Park. [Colinton Tunnel] 📌 Walk: Towpath, tunnel & Colinton Dell ★★★ Start / finish at Water of Leith Visitor Centre (street parking available to west), Lanark Road (A70), Slateford, 3 mi southwest of Edinburgh Waverley station, G.R.: NT 221707 ///tree.pulled.judges

Myreton Motor Museum

East Lothian | Drem | Museum | ★★★ [1959 Mini Woody at Myreton Motor Museum] Despite its unlikely rural location and slightly ramshackle appearance, Myreton Motor Museum is a real Aladdin's Cave of a museum. The private collection of cars and transport-related exhibits was founded as a museum in 1966 by local enthusiast Willie Dale and is a real labour of love; it's now run by his family and comprises a few dozen vehicles plus motorcycles, pedal bikes and various related accessories.
