You can join this route by following the quiet roads leading
from the Whitecraig to Dalkeith cycle track (Map 7) or
begin on the track near Crossgatehall. Along the way, you’ll
see evidence of the many coal mines that the railway used
to serve. It’s well worth making a detour to Ormiston,
Scotland’s first planned village, built in 1735 on the model of
an English village (www.ormistonvillage.com). Pencaitland
is another attractive and historic village and, further on, a
short detour on public roads will take you to Glenkinchie

●● Avoid cycling where your tyres will damage the Falkirk High Railway station. The towpath is narrow, so
path or verges take care. Alert other users to your presence in advance

for more of the journeys we make every day. Our work
makes it possible for people to choose healthier, cleaner
and cheaper journeys, with better places and spaces to
move through and live in.
It’s time we all began making smarter travel choices.
