Covered walkway

Weather dry again today (and hubby was busy de-greasing his gearbox!) so took the camera and headed out to the Almondell and Calderwood Country park.

A little history.....

The Park is split into two main areas: Almondell, which comprises the old Almondell estate, originally belonging to the Erskine family of Broxburn (Henry Erskine was a notable Scottish lawyer who was appointed twice as the Lord Advocate for Scotland) and Calderwood which once belonged to the Barons of Torphichen.

The River Almond runs through Almondell & Calderwood Country Park where it picks up the Calder and Murieston Waters.

The River is 28 miles (45 km) long, rising in North Lanarkshire near Shotts and running through the middle of West Lothian. It drains into the Firth of Forth at Cramond near Edinburgh.

This shot was taken not far from the entrance to the park at Mid Calder.
