    Millions stroll in New York's 'park in the sky'

    One of the runaway hits of this past summer in New York has not been on Broadway - instead it has been at a most unusual park which is attracting millions of visitors from all around the world.

    The disused elevated railway track that runs through downtown Manhattan now offers commuters and tourists alike a peaceful escape from the chaos on the busy city streets below.

    The inside story of New York City's so-called "park in the sky'' is about to be told in a book called High Line.

    Michael Maher took a stroll through the park to find out more.

    Edinburgh should take note about what can be achieved with a little bit of imagination, quite a lot of effort, and a few miles of disused railway lines.

    I like the quote at the end;

    It slows people down and that is one of the secrets of its success
