Gembo deviated a different thread with -
"There should be a way through craiglockhart dell t avoid the aqueduct. There isn't as the valley side very steep but you can do it walking. There is a lovely house down in the valley floor that must be accessed from the craiglockhart side but it might sit on bend in the river on the craiglockhart side. The council used to own a mansion out that way where they ran training sessions. That will be flats now I bet. Not sure why that bit doesn't get used, it is maybe private land but often see deer and is quite a swathe of hidden countryside. Must consult my spokes map."
I responded -
"@ Gembo I think you need a day in the Dells (yes plural).
See how many grottoes you can discover, and find the doocot."
Anyone up for that?
