Here the bike track follows the former Edinburgh, Loanhead and Roslin Railway Line which was opened in in 1874 primarily to serve mineral workings, in particular coalmining, in the area. Some passenger trains were operated. Traffic on the line diminished with the decline in mining in the 20th Century and the line was eventually closed in 1989. It is now gradually being restored for walker and cyclists. Tarmac changes to heavy gravel surface as path continues north east.
