Exploring new paths with Charlie Ellis

  • Summary

  • Charlie Ellis is a writer and walker with a keen interest in Edinburgh's former railways that are now footpaths and cycle routes. He enjoys heading off to explore old paths and to find new, or potential, ones. When we met up he took me off to find some existing and potential paths, including the Powderhall Line which was only closed in 2016 and is the subject of a campaign to have it joined into the North Edinburgh path network.

    After viewing some paths we talked writing, memories and discovering new places.

    Charlie writes for a number of Edinburgh based publications and you can read some of his articles here: https://www.leithermagazine.com/leither152/the-path https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2023/11/21/the-world-reveals-itself-to-those-who-travel-on-foot/ https://www.leithermagazine.com/leither153/circles https://www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/powderhalls-path-potential
