24 Carnethies met up for this years Halloween Run.
With one missing from the spreadsheet list we headed off through The Witchy Wood (spooky), then along The Kill Burn (that ran red with blood at The Battle of Roslin) to the Bilston Viaduct (original was built by Thomas Bouch of Tay Bridge Disaster Fame).
A right turn led us along a track that had recently been covered in slurry. which some of us ran through (Lovely), then a couple of Carnethy witches appeared having missed the start of the run (read the start time!).
We descended and headed along Stinking Rigg (where the bodies were piled high in 1303) and the round The Maiden Castle and back towards Roslin passing Hawthornden Castle and General Monck’s Battery (In 1650, General Monck, with a force of 600 men, attacked and took Rosslyn Castle), then round Roslin Castle and into Roslin Country Park where a few fireworks lit the night (Thanks Bob Cali and Margaret).
We ran along and up Jacobs Ladder and back to Roslin including a circumnavigation to The world famour Rosslyn Chapel.
The into The Original Rosslyn Inn to refuel.
