Cyclists, walkers and horse-riders are being asked to take an alternative route if travelling between Musselburgh and Penicuik while part of the pathway is closed off for essential works.

A diversion has been put in place to allow maintenance on overhead cabling deemed “essential for the management of Covid-19”.

It’s expected the work will take around two weeks.
