Mauldslie Castle West Lodge is a 19th-century gatehouse in Dalserf, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. A Category A listed building, it was completed in 1861, believed to be the work of David Bryce.The adjoining Mauldslie Bridge, a separate listing, was built for James Hogier, of Newlands, to serve Mauldslie Castle, built by Thomas, 5th Earl of Hyndford, in 1793. The castle was demolished in 1935. A seated-dog motif above the gate, which appears with an inscription of "Aye Ready", can also be found in the garden of the Marna gate lodge, to the south. That also is a listed structure.Hogier's initials appear on the eastern elevation of the gatehouse.

Edinburgh the Walk
Edinburgh the Walk

Edinburgh the Walk (stylized Edinburgh THE WALK), is a guidebook by Roddy McDougall and Elizabeth May. It describes a long-distance footpath linking the parks, green spaces and hills of Scotland's capital city. The book outlines a 69 kilometres (43 mi) long route which is divided into eight sections. While not currently waymarked, it follows parts of several long-established walking routes in the city - John Muir Way, Water of Leith Walkway, River Almond, Lothian Walkway as well as paths created from the city's former railway lines. It is intended to be for Edinburgh what the Capital Ring is for London - a walking route which leads through different parts of the city which might not otherwise be visited. The book highlights the geology, architecture and arts of Edinburgh beyond its better-known centre including some of those who have contributed to the city's history - novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott, geologist and writer Hugh Miller, geologist James Hutton and the Duke of Buccleuch. The route starts at Edinburgh Castle and heads north east towards the port of Leith before going alongside the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. From there it turns inland at Cramond and heads south over Corstorphine Hill towards Craiglockhart Hill.The route then takes in the summits of Braid Hills and Blackford Hill before heading towards Craigmillar Castle. It then leads north towards the seaside resort of Portobello, Edinburgh before climbing up to the city's highest point, the extinct volcano Arthur's Seat. The route ends at the gates to Holyrood Palace beside the Scottish Parliament Building. Travel-writer Richard Franks completed the whole walk in three and a half days. The route was also featured on 'Out of Doors' on BBC Radio Scotland in August 2022. Each section of the route begins and ends with access to public transport.
