The end of East Barnton Gardens is flanked by a pair of round pillars. This is looking between the pillars to the mini-roundabout at the end of Main Street in Davidson's Mains. The route between the pillars (the original Queensferry Road) is the original turnpike road from Edinburgh to the crossing of the River Forth. The road was moved in the 1820s and the large wall which encompasses what was then the Barnton estate of the Ramsay family was built, going right around and down to Cramond area. Thanks to Mike Richardson and Eunice Smith for help with the description.
