There are some lovely walkways created from old railway lines. Full marks to the council for renovating them. So why are the metal bridges painted a lurid blue?? Did someone think it was a cheery colour? Was it some paint they had left over? Did they even give it a moment's thought? How out of keeping could you actually get unless you painted them pink with spots? Any research done on the livery of the original steam line? I doubt it. If this blue were the original colour I will eat my keyboard.
Doesn't look any better on the street. Don't look at the flats. They are horrible.
At least you can't see them from the walkway.

AlwaysAnnoyed, seems to sum up the tone of your blog posts, but why, I wonder why ... for my five cents our branch railway cycle paths, the canal, the water of leith, the river almond, brunstane burn, holyrood park, ... these are gifts for running and cycling. Then on our doorstep the pentlands, we are blessed.
Oh, by the way, many thanks for the Penicuik Estate routes. Had a gorgeous autumn colours couple of hours there last month :)
