The Writers' Museum

City of Edinburgh | Old Town | Museum | ★★

[The Writers' Museum]

Scores of attractions compete for the attention of visitors along Scotland's most touristy street: the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's Old Town. Lost among the bigger sights is an old, small sign pointing down an old close to The Writers' Museum: unusually for this part of town, it's free to visit and rarely crowded. The smallish museum is devoted to three famous Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. In truth, the exhibits are only of moderate interest, but worth a brief visit nevertheless. And the building they're housed in is interesting too: Lady Stair's House is a well-kept, 17th century townhouse just off a hideaway courtyard.

Walk: Calderglen - rotten rapids & hidden waterfalls

Image
South Lanarkshire | East Kilbride | Half day walk | ★★★

Cuddling up against suburban East Kilbride, Calderglen is a surprisingly peaceful glen through which the unsavoury-sounding Rotten Calder flows - the name actually referring to the ironstone bedrock, or perhaps the rusty colour of the water running over it. This walk is all about the journey (past several attractive waterfalls, although views of the most dramatic ones are obstructed by vegetation) rather than the destination; the former site of Calderwood Castle at the end appears just to be a forlorn mass of weeds. Mostly wooded, this is a useful bad weather alternative to a more ambitious walk - and thanks to numerous steps, probably nearly as tiring! Don't miss the small, friendly zoo at the start.

Fossil Grove

Image
Glasgow | West End | Fossilised trees | ★★

In the dappled shade of a popular urban park lies what is often referred to as Glasgow's most ancient visitor attraction. Fossil Grove comprises 9 fossilised tree stumps - complete with parts of their root systems - inside a slightly dilapidated building which you might otherwise mistake for public toilets within the grounds of Victoria Park. The fossils remain in situ where they were discovered in 1887 and are 325 million years old; they appear still to be in relatively good condition despite tectonic movements, World War II bombing and recent humidity issues. Finding accurate opening times has been difficult in previous years, but a new website for 2019 suggests these problems may be in the past.

Walk: Livingston's jaw-dropping waterfall

Image
West Lothian | Livingston | Short walk | ★★★

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. The walk from the nearest road begins promisingly, but the last few hundred metres are a bit sketchy: stepping stones across a side burn, and a very slippery slope to reach the best viewpoint - more details below.
