Yes, they were in the wrong direction.
Lower Largo beach….
until very recently, my mum lived just up the hill ( the serpentine ) in Upper Largo.
I hope you spotted the Robinson Crusoe house/statue !!!

Lego Marchbanks did stop in North Queensferry, so that he could use the tea-making facilities of the world's smallest working lighthouse.A stop at the 17thC Hawes Inn in South Queensferry (described in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Kidnapped) for a glass is essential.
It’s humbling whenever local authorities want to mark my visit in some way - but for it to be rushed through within 24 hours is very unusual. That’s probably how the ‘s’ got left off.BTW I spotted this in Balerno when walking the dogs earlier:

Glad you had a peek at Moray Place- it’s one of the best Georgian Circuses anywhere in the UK and on a grand scale.Virtual meeting no. 4 with @TheDecameron (not shown in photo.)
Yes, I’ve had a strong desire to live in Moray Place/Ainslie Place/Randolph Crescent since I saw a ‘this area through the ages’ type TV show some five or six years ago. On the whole the inhabitants seemed doddery and completely bonkers but generally harmless. ‘This is my true home,’ I immediately said to myself. All I need is a generous sponsor.Glad you had a peek at Moray Place- it’s one of the best Georgian Circuses anywhere in the UK and on a grand scale.
I had been thinking of following the Scotland-England border from east to west and then down through Carlisle, but I’ve since discovered the border and the Pennine Way are coincident for quite a distance. So, as no-one in England north of Manchester wants to meet me I could turn that into a bonus and come all the way down England as far as the Snake Pass on that trail instead.You should at least plan a very picturesque route down through the N York Dales, via say Wharfedale (seriously - the scenery is beautiful, even without Gilbert Briggs]
I don’t really think so… I mean, I enjoy a Hi-Art Concept as much as the next man, but the idea of walking halfway across Scotland to see it when (a) I know it is closed and (b) even if it wasn’t, I couldn’t take a photo doesn’t really appeal.It's shut but you could look over the walls.A wee detour?

But it has given me the germs of an idea - the Marchbanks Secret Garden Experience. Tickets are £25 in advance, it’s never open, you are not allowed to visit and its location is - you guessed - a secret.

It doesn't always work like that, even in Scotland - as I discovered yesterday.I'm beginning to wonder if you are walking or making a "royal progress" carried in a sedan chair.Any locked gate or no entry sign should be a green light to
a tramp looking for a warm shed for the night.
