Edinburgh is certainly not short of trails. We have our pick which is a wonderful plus for living in the city. On this occasion, I wanted to do a short walk and so I decided to walk the Warriston path.

Like many walking trails, this path was once a railway. The Edinburgh, Leith, Newhaven railway.

This railway ran above Warriston cemetery.

As I walked across what was once a bridge for trains, I could see the cemetery. It was a little overgrown but still visible.

I couldn’t help but admire the ivy overgrowth on the remaining structures of the old railway. They looked like natural coats bracing for the upcoming winter.

Perhaps that was related to my mood! A coat was very much necessary for this walk 😆
