Path at the A701 Bilston
The path from the former railway S of Loanhead reaches Bilston here at the main road. The Lothian bus is heading into Edinburgh from Penicuik and carries the old name 'Pen-y-Cog' for Penicuik, hill of the cuckoo, along with the cuckoo emblem.

Talla Aqueduct crossing Bilston Burn
At first I had taken this to be another old railway bridge, but the linear feature still shown on the map is the line of the aqueduct from Talla Reservoir in Upper Tweeddale to Edinburgh - it is marked as 'Course of Conduit Edinburgh & Dist. W.T.' on the 1921-30 OS 1" Popular edition sheet 74, which can be seen on the National Library of Scotland website http://maps.nls.uk/os/view/?sid=74400710#zoom=5&lat=28280&lon=23380&layers=BT
Edinburgh & District Water Trust was the body responsible for building the Talla Reservoir in 1897 - Image shown one of their pipeline markers in Tweeddale. The aqueduct comes across Auchencorth Moss via Penicuik to Liberton in south Edinburgh.

Seafield Road, Bilston
Bilston is a former mining village that served the Bilston Glen Colliery which closed in 1988. Several small housing schemes have been built since, with a larger development currently underway at Cameron Gardens (see Image), changing Bilston's role to a commuter base as the Edinburgh City By-Pass is nearby. Unchanged, the Pentland Hills form the western skyline.
