Did you cycle to Murrayfield ?

Nah, car to Heriot Watt Uni then bus pass
Union Canal path passes not too far away though.

Yes, I've seen it. Thinking of going Glasgow / Edinburgh round trip. My sister lives next to Murrayfield so looking at route options.

A gas well near my usual route. I live near a gas field and a booster station on the pipeline.

A BM on the gates to Overstone Lodge. I’ve ridden past this place so many times, but slowed down this time (with the help of a freezing cold headwind!!) and spotted it.

Union Canal is a great run apart from 60 odd bridges to pass under (you'll soon find out what I mean), I just walked the cobbled tunnel and viaducts...

Few treacherous cobbled sections under bridges around Glasgow.
One at Ruchill Street has to be the worst on Forth and Clyde.
Narrow, slippy and right on the waters edge.

I've not checked that end of the estate. Also, I wonder if there was anything on the old stately home? No access to it now it's being poshed up into apartments though..
