Edinburgh Tourist 5 – Innocent Path
April 26, 2012 2 Comments
Home from USA – see previous posts. Now trying to shake off the jetlag, so got the bicycle out.
The Innocent Railway Path has not been a railway for many years, but it was one very early, 1826, nicknamed “The Innocent Railway” because it was originally horse-drawn in an age which thought steam engines dangerous! More info here for those interested. It is now a cycle route and walkers path running hidden below Arthur’s Seat.
Photos from a ride early this morning:

beautiful. Thank you (though I am now homesick…)
and I thought you were Australian! The world is small enough now for us all to be its citizens, wherever we started out. I hope you enjoy more of my wanderings around Edinburgh.
