With Tuesday being likely the last day, it is absolutely critical that people come out and show support for the Dalkeith Protesters! Since there were eight arrests today, it is likely that Tuesday (tomorrow as of the day of this post) will be the last stand of the Dalkeith Tree-sit. So everyone let's go out there as early as possible in the morning to give the protesters our support! There is a legal viewing area and people should bring drums and other musical instruments. It helps the people in the trees knowing they have supporters - on Monday there were only two people in the legal area giving cheers, we can do better than that! Directions are here: DIRECTIONS to the main Protest Site Please bear in mind the police may be obstructing access, and it may be necessary to vary your route, which is possible to do. The site is in a stand of pines on the north side of the River Esk after the two branches have joined and near the cut for the overhead electric lines. Enter Dalkeith Country Park at the north end- entrance off of the A6094 at Smeaton Lodge (between Dalkeith and Whitecraig). Go past Home Farm towards the River Esk, after crossing the bridge the protest site can be accessed by the first farm track on the left (note the site is not accessible for vehicles). Alternatively, enter Dalkeith Country Park from the main entrance off of the High Street in Dalkeith. Straight ahead after you go through the gates, then stay on the road leading to the right past the adventure playground, shop and cafeteria. Pass the grazing fields and pass under three power lines. After a short distance the road will split. There is a prominent Scots pine here in front of you. Take the left fork towards the River Esk. After a short distance, again take the left fork when the road splits and go down the hill. After crossing the bridge, the protest site can be accessed by the first farm track on the left. This is around 35-40 minutes walk. From Edinburgh, Lothian Buses 3 and 3a go along Princes St, up the Bridges and on to Dalkeith, you can use a day ticket for this journey. In Dalkeith get off at the second stop after the bus crosses the bridge over the river, walk straight ahead, go first right onto the High Street, and straight ahead to the Park entrance.
