Dist:0.2km<br/>"A train passenger's view" from the Pencaitland Walkway. The trains and coal mine, are long gone but barley production carries on. The fields are ploughed and will almost certainly be sown in Spring with barley. Spring sown barley is favoured for malting and explains why you still see stubble over Winter in Scotland.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The view of the car park at the site of the former station at Pencaitland. The silos and large industrial plant in the background have been built on the site of the station. This car park provides better access to the Railway Walk and Nature Trail for wheelchairs and pushcairs than at the site of the former colliery [[405624]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>All those barley field shots in East Lothian - this is where a lot of the grain ends up. Supplier of malt to brewers and distillers around the world. Maltings built in 1965. Taken from the Pencaitland railway walk - this uses the old railway trackbed which served the coal mines of the Pencaitland area.
