Cleared! The buried middle section of the open stone rainwater runoff channel along Hume Walk now restored by volunteers

By Simon on 1 June 20242 June 2024

Thanks to hard work by Edinburgh & Lothian Greenspaces Trust, Baillie Gifford and our own volunteers on 31 May 2024, a section of about 80/90 metres, completely buried for the past 20 years or so, has been uncovered running along the main north-south path over the hill.

We have more volunteers coming on 12 July and hope to finish this line of the drainage channels at that time.
