The path, part of a route called the Crags Circular Path, is a continuation of the one shown heading off to the left in
NS4274 : Lennox Road, Milton.
In the area shown in the present picture, the path has left the houses behind. There is a field to the left, behind the trees. To the right (east) of the path, the ground, greatly overgrown, slopes down to the course of the Milton Burn. The Milton Printworks used to stand on the other side of the burn.
For a view in the opposite direction from a point about 100 metres ahead, see
