Fragments of several tracks lead up to the foot of the scree slope below Salisbury Crags, but are now lost in dense gorse. They are all probably associated with quarrying, and are shown in part on the OS 1:1056 map in 1854 (Edinburgh and its environs 1854, sheet 41). They are plotted at 1:5,550 on an archaeological map of Holyrood Park (RCAHMS 1999).
Visited by RCAHMS (ARG), 15 December 1998.
NMRS, MS/726/96 (64-5, no. 60); RCAHMS 1999.
