Kinauld Siding: Kinauld tannery: the siding connection is up ahead, on left. Water of Leith to right, in shade. This is taken from just east of former waulk mill. The bridge crossed the mill lade for Balerno Mill (which became the tannery). Beyond the siding the line crossed from the north to the south bank of the river.
