Footbridge on Cycle Route

This footbridge, on NCN Route 7, crosses a little stream that rises about 500 metres to the west (near a sewage works). For the view looking back from the other side, see NS3977 : Footbridge on Cycle Route. The bridge was later replaced; see the last-cited link for details.

A little further along the cycle path, there is another wooden footbridge (NS3977 : Footbridge on Cycle Route), which is similar to the one shown here (and which was also replaced at the same time). After that, the route passes under a blue bridge (visible in the background), by means of which the dual carriageway crosses the River Leven.

See Link for an annotated satellite view, showing features that are depicted on the 1:10560 OS maps from 1864 to 1938, in relation to the present-day landscape. A path that runs along the northern edge of the meadow here is known locally as the Howgate: Link
