Ten
Strollers met at the Gyle shopping centre on what was a bright and glorious
sunny November day to walk out to the Cammo estate and then on towards
Turnhouse airport (now Edinburgh).
Leaving the shopping centre, we went under the Glasgow road through the new tunnel linking the new Edinburgh Gateway railway station to the Gyle. Heading on from here, we turned up Turnhouse Road and then right to follow the new footpath between the houses up to the top of the hill. There was a glorious view back towards the Pentland Hills. We then joined the Cammo Walk path and headed down passing the Cammo water tower, into the Cammo Estate where we had a break for lunch at the ruins of the house.
Having
rested and watched the white squirrels running around we then continued down to
join Cammo Road and head along it in the direction of the airport. Coming to
Turnhouse Farm Road, we turned left and then onto Turnhouse Road past the golf
club and all the new houses that have been, and are still being built, to
retrace our steps back to the Gyle centre and time for coffee.
Thanks to Drew for the walk and the good weather.
