These ancient trees sit astride an even older stone wall not far from Roslin Castle. The roots all but conceal the wall which looks as if the weight of the trees has forced it into the ground.

A little further along another three similar trees have their roots intertwined. They also sit on top of the wall, but more of the wall is visible in this picture.

1 Kilometre south of Roslin is this weir in the River South Esk. Water power was used in the manufacture of gunpowder at the nearby mill. There is a footbridge here and the path leads up to the old railway line from Rosewell to Auchendinny.

There appears to be a gentleman wearing a bow tie and goggles, driving a car resembling the one in the film 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.
