About this wood

The Catwalk, or Den Wood, is located in the village of West Linton, 21.5 km south west of Edinburgh. The wood lies on the steeply sloping northern bank of the Lyne Water. The wood has a south-westerly aspect, but the steep narrowness of the valley means that for much of time the woodland is in shadow. There is one, small flat section right on the riverbank, which probably forms part of an old floodplain of the Lyne Water.
