Dist:0.4km<br/>Along the route of an old railway line, and part of National Cycle Network #1. Just ahead out of sight beyond the bend it joins the Penicuik - Musselburgh Foot and Cycleway.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Look what happens when you don't mow the lawn. Former school playing fields, the school having moved to the new Community Campus and the old buildings demolished. Much of this square is taken by a tucked away golf course.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The grave contains the mortal remains of William Junkinson who died in 1748 and who shares the plot with his wife and their descendants and spouses down to John Romans who died in 1910. Junkinson's name suggests a Dutch or Flemish origin, e.g. the surname Yonckeers became scotticised to Younger.
