Loanhead
View south west along the route of the EL&RR on 28 February showing the trackbed passing below the crossroads in the centre of Loanhead on its way towards Roslin. Loanhead station is 100m behind the camera. Top left on Station Road stands 'Man boy and Horse', a work by local sculptor Alan Herriot featuring a coal miner, a boy and a pit pony. The closure of Bilston Glen Colliery in 1989 brought to an end a long history of mining in the area.
