McLaughlin and Harvey (McL&H) has reached a milestone on a major flood prevention project in Edinburgh.

The contractor has completed work on the Water of Leith Walkway (Pansy Walk), a section of works on the Water of Leith Flood Prevention Scheme.

The walkway, which has now been opened six months ahead of schedule, was closed last July to allow new flood walls and pathways to be built.

The scheme forms part of Phase 2 of the Water of Leith Flood Prevention Scheme, which involves building over approximately 1.2 km of flood defences along the Water of Leith at Murrayfield.

McL&H said the work on the development is progressing well and completion is on schedule for January 2018.
