I was able to welcome @patrickharvie to my Ward today to open the resurfaced Water of Leith walkway along with children from @BonalyPrimary. Also there were people from @greenspacetrust (they delivered the project), @SustransScot (funders), @WOLCT, @TunnelColinton & @SueJWebber (and her dog). We heard the surface may last up to 50 years!!

Don't plan to visit the Colinton Tunnel mural today or tomorrow (15/16 June). The long-awaited new bridge is being transported through the tunnel and craned into position at Katesmill, so the Water of Leith Walkway is closed. It will be good to be able to cross the river again!

Oi @CalMacFerries Can you get this sorted please. We're getting reports of visitors turning away from Raasay because they don't know they can buy tickets on the boat and the online system says the tickets are all sold out.
