Description
A rare old telegraph pole nestled among the trees, just a memory of past times.
This pole, still with remnants of the original porcelain insulators and wires, is associated with the Caledonian Railway - Balerno Branch line - Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Balerno station opened in 1874. It serviced both passengers and the many mills (Paper, Snuff and Tannery) along the Water of Leith. In 1943 the passenger service stopped but freight continued until 1967.
The route is now a leisure walk and cycleway.
