North from Princes Street Station The Caledonia Railway introduced a line running through the northern suburbs of Edinburgh to Leith in 1879. Stations on the route were: - Princes Street - Craigleith - East Pilton - Granton Road - Newhaven - North Leith A branch from this line at Craigleith led to Davidson's Mains and Barnton in the western suburbs of Edinburgh. |
|
Today Today much of the route of these old railways remains. The track has been lifted, and the line is now used as a footpath and cycle track. The north eastern part of this route passes through Craigleith, where part of the route may soon be used by the proposed new tramline. |
