Winter cereals, Capilaw The signposted track shown on the 1:25,000 map was rather too overgrown to follow and there was no unplanted headland in the field so I went back to Capielaw.

Dalhousie As well as the barley fields that occupy most of the square, the picture also shows a glimpse of a small industrial estate built in an area marked by the OS as a sawmill. Gradually the Midlothian coalfield settlements merge into barley fields. As you travel south, the land rises and the barley in turn is replaced by grazing.

Oak lined road The road south from the coalfield to Carrington is a refuge for many mature oaks (Quercus rubor). As well as this wide but quiet road, the square has a few small woods and a lot of barley.
