Pentland Oil Works
The site of the level crossing linking the former Straiton and Pentland oil works, to the west of Loanhead. The connecting line ran across what is now the A701 dual carriageway and to the right of the white building to reach the Pentland site beyond. View is west on 26 February 2011, with Sainsbury's Superstore and the rest of what is now Straiton retail park, occupying the site of the former Straiton Oil Works behind the camera. The building opposite was most recently used as a pub named 'The Callyr Inn' although it now lies empty. It was once the offices of the Pentland Oil Works (owned by the Clippens Oil Company).
