This evening eight Carnethy Ladies (including Bill) ran from Margaret’s house in Colinton along the Water of Leith to Woodhall Farm, then south to Tiphereth. We then followed the route of the Circo Edinburgh over the old golf course at Torphin Hill to Bonaly and White Hill. Next we ran down to the new Centenary Wood which was planted by the Woodland Trust with the help of the local community in remembrance of the First World War. There are four of these newly planted woods in the UK and this is Scotland’s wood. Taking the path under the bypass, we ran past the building site which used to be the Army Polofield and then through the Covenanters’s Wood to Margaret’s back garden. Green (spinach) and red (butter bean and tomato) soup was followed with apple (from Carnethy’s Murdo) and bramble (from the Polofield) crumble. Many thanks to everyone who made this a really enjoyable evening!
