Drove road number 1

Trains from Haymarket to Kirknewton on saturdays go every hour, at about half past the hour. Sundays it’s every 2 hours, first train at 1228.

Bus to west Linton. Could be every hour. MacEwans bus info at 01387 256533.

19 km run, including a trail run on an old drove road over the Pentlands.

Bus from West Linton. Could be every hour. Buses leave from Gordon Arms Hotel, telephone 01968 660 208. The hotel has been there since 1654 so no doubt there’s some connection with the droving.

Trains from Kirknewton to Haymarket go every hour on Saturdays, at approximately 20 minutes past the hour. And every 2 hours on Sundays.

Hmmm … what do statacc have to say about the parishes associated with this route?
