Where will it end?

@gembo the roadworks notification says Shiplaw Rd to northern boundary of Eddleston. However it’s also described as ‘new footway’, so maybe not shared use. Looks pretty wide though.
Always thought the ‘old Edinburgh road’ to Scots Pine would form the basis of any continuation.

Thanks @Murun. Scots Pine could do with the business. After that heading North there is a right that goes up to Gladhouse I do believe.

Scots Pine seemed pretty busy yesterday judging by car park and cars on the old road. They were shootin’ pheasant up the hill at Boreland farm which disrupted my plans somewhat.

@gembo: After that heading North there is a right that goes up to Gladhouse I do believe. Correct, up a pair of steep hairpin bends*, then after the climb Gladhouse is about 2 miles beyond the turnoff on the right for Portmore Reservoir.
* With a quasi alpine feel to them, a bit like the climb out of Kenmore on the Glen Quaich road only not as long or as steep.

Ha.
Upon reflection when we come down Shiplaw it is usually before 10a.m. And quiet as it is not yet open.
Or if going the other way it is later I. The morning and the cars are enough to contend with so we don’t notice Scots Pine in that direction
