A mile or two further up the river. Quite a deep gorge with steep paths which are dangerous if muddy. Can you see the face of a Thatcheresque witch in a white promontory on the cliff face?

Nearer Roslin, the path splits into two paths which eventually meet up again. The lower path actually has an old metal handrail set into the cliff-face at one point. This picture shows the past effects of water-erosion, as seen from the bottom path beside the river.

The Scots Pine tree perches precariously on the cliff edge. And another chance to see the white witch's face from another angle...

Not looking particularly red here, but it is a Red Birch rather than Silver Birch. Under the ridge where the tree is growing, are the remains of a dry stane dyke.

A covered walkway connecting different parts of Rosslynlee psychiatric hospital situated roughly  between Roslin and Rosewell.

Reminiscent of Victorian conservatories in its construction. Probably photographed in the late 1970s.
