Is it too much for journalists to provide a map of where the path actually goes? So people might use it?

Jeezo!
Those crossings of two multi-lane high-speed motorway slips! I wouldn't fancy that with my kids

"connecting Newton and Duntarvie" tbf, I've not heard of either.

Is Duntarvie even a place, don't know why they didn't just say Winchburgh.
Duntarvie Castle can be seen from the A9 and has been under renovation for as long as I can remember.
I always thought Newton was famous for being home to Scotland's oldest filling station, but it seems I may have been deceived on this point.

It does make you wonder why a B-road with 4 numbers is considered dangerous? Is the speed limit too high?

'It does make you wonder why a B-road with 4 numbers is considered dangerous? Is the speed limit too high?'
It was fine (pleasant, actually) before a dormitory town with approximately zero public transport links and a motorway junction was plonked down.
Regarding the path, I doubt very much that Winchburgh was the primary conurbation that Newton residents desired active travel links to - surely should have been S Queensferry, from which Newton's been effectively cut off from since the Queensferry Crossing and its vroom vroom centric high-volume junction were vomited out over the landscape.

Not quite Dutch quality, but a marked improvement by our standards. I wonder, was the "through the fields" part the sticking point, or the rest of it? Since WLC seem to have put the northern part of the region on a bit of a backburner in their latest AT plan in terms of next-to-road routes, a couple of gravel routes through the fields of this quality would at least connect up Broxburn/Uphall and Winchburgh & Linlithgow without getting stuck on the towpath or chancing the few roads.
