Knew you folk were my best bet for railway info. </p> <p>@fimm - yes, Climbed Glas Tulaichean - railway path lets you avoid fording the river twice, which is handy, as the kids struggle to keep their feet dry. We did the fords on the way back for fun :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224777 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 10:11:34 +0000 cb 224777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"Other discarded infrastructure in this area is an early ski-lift on Mount Blair"</em></p> <p>"<br /> Mount Blair<br /> - No information available about a portable tow that was used here - the first ski tow in Scotland - in 1950, run by the Dundee SC.<br /> "</p> <p><a href="http://www.highland-instinct.co.uk/skiresorts/history/index.php">http://www.highland-instinct.co.uk/skiresorts/history/index.php</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224770 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 09:06:06 +0000 fimm 224770@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah, was it Glas Tulaichean you climbed? I've walked the route I'm assuming you went, but I have no recollection of the railway! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224769 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 08:47:19 +0000 LaidBack 224769@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From memory I think it was put in for hunting parties. Pre-war, pre-Landrover?<br /> Other discarded infrastructure in this area is an early ski-lift on Mount Blair. Not sure if anything remains. The Devil's Elbow was often blocked in winter. Now by-passed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224767 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:47:26 +0000 chdot 224767@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Find all other railways</p> <p><a href="http://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php</a></p> <p>Not always accurate. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224766 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:36:52 +0000 Arellcat 224766@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>OS map also here:</p> <p><a href="https://binged.it/29u3aZ5" rel="nofollow">https://binged.it/29u3aZ5</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224765 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:26:05 +0000 chdot 224765@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.mountblairarchive.org/content/galleries/places-galleries/dalmunzie/dalmunzie-railway-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.mountblairarchive.org/content/galleries/places-galleries/dalmunzie/dalmunzie-railway-2</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224764 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:20:18 +0000 chdot 224764@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.railscot.co.uk/Dalmunzie_Railway/index.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.railscot.co.uk/Dalmunzie_Railway/index.php</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16607#post-224763 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 21:09:27 +0000 SRD 224763@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone know the story? </p> <p><a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4686486" rel="nofollow">http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4686486</a></p> <p>Walked it recently, but google's not turning up any info. </p>
