Looking across Ironmills Park from the old railway viaduct (now a cycleway and footpath). The River North Esk flows below, soon to link up with the South Esk before heading north to Musselburgh and the Firth of Forth.

 Looking up-river from the viaduct we can see Elginhaugh Bridge carrying Melville Road up to Eskbank Roundabout. This road is quieter these days since a new road and bridge were built further up between Bonnyrigg and Gilmerton.
