azel, a volunteer dog tracker from Livingston, was recently involved in finding a dog which had been loose on Craiglockhart Hill for six days. When a dog goes missing one of the toughest things, when you find them, is getting support on the ground to secure them when they’ve gone into survival mode.

Almost 24 hours a day, local volunteer trackers are out finding and securing lost dogs – using vast skill, experience, knowledge, patience and sheer physical endurance. For Hazel, it has become a full-time lifestyle. There is way more to it than I could fit in two pages of this magazine, but please look up the work they do and add a contribution if you can.

The health column from McNaughton Physiogrange this month picks up on a vital topic that is very much on the mind of anyone who watched the Denmark vs Belgium match in June – how to save a life with CPR, and the critical role of publicly accessible defibrillators; see the article on p15.

A walk along an historic drover’s route, along with all our usual columns are here.

I hope the Dell Directory entertains and informs this month, and I hope you have a fantastic July!

SEARCH, TRACK, TRAP – or, what NOT to do if your dog goes missing

Successful rescue of Wendy 8 | THE DELL

“I live out in the wild 24/7. It’s now my life choice.”

Hazel Muzzle Mutts, of Livingston, is a tracker and one of a team of dedicated volunteers who have made it their mission to find lost dogs and reunite them with their owners.

Abseiling ravines, river searches, thermal scope work, working tracker dogs, setting up and monitoring cameras, maintaining scent and bait feed stations, trekking through mud and forests – these are just some of the things the work entails.

Lost & Found Dogs West Lothian is a community run by Charlene and Hazel with a team of volunteers. They work closely with other organisations all over Scotland, and call on drone pilots, thermal scope workers and trained spotters as needed. It can take days or weeks of patiently tracking to recover a dog.

“It’s commonly misunderstood that getting lots of people out to where a dog has been lost and shouting on it is best. But it can cause more harm than good,” explains Charlene.

“A lost dog is in survival mode. They are not your pet at this point; they are an animal looking after themselves in the wild and you’re a predator - no matter how bonded you are with them.”

Mowdie’s owner is seated on the ground, head bowed, no eye contact. Mowdie zig zags slowly, approaching her. His every movement and reaction is monitored by Hazel’s thermal scope.

Mowdie had run off after a pheasant on a country road 18 hours previously and his owner feared he’d been hit by a 4x4. Hazel, with her dogs and a thermal scope, carefully tracked him through dense woodland, using scent, bait and wait tactics until they located him. “He was aware we were there, but it took a lot of patience before he was ready to come,” says Hazel.

A lost dog needs time to settle and get used @KonectMagazines

to their surroundings before they can start to think rationally, whether it’s a familiar area or not. It becomes their new safe space as they figure things out, and they’ll be suspicious of anything new in that space. Shouting and torches will spook them. Mowdie, like others in this situation, needed time.

After many hours, and with his owner’s scent in the area, Mowdie eventually became confident enough to come forward into an open space, keeping his distance, very unsure.

“This is where the trust between owner and myself comes in,” explains Hazel. “Most of the things I ask them to do is against what their heart tells them.” With your lost dog finally so close, your adrenaline’s pumping but you have to remain calm and focused so as not to react prematurely. Even at this stage a wrong movement can send the dog running again motion sensitivity is a big thing when they have been loose. “I instruct the owner depending on the body language of their dog. Mowdie’s owner couldn’t see or hear her dog in the pitch black; she was cold, wet, exhausted, and thinking he may have been injured almost 18 hours earlier.

So there is a lot of trust needed to have someone you don’t know tell you he’s to the right, to the left, 50 ft away, stay still, speak softly, don’t speak, crawl away, sit, stay...”

“The little cry that escapes from the owner lets me know they have the dog in their grasp. The slip lead is promptly but gently put in place as the owners cradle their dog. Even the most gentle dog can bite at this time. They’re secured in a safe area as they are still a flight risk until they decompress fully.”

There is no time limit in getting a loose dog to safety. Wendy is a Tunisian rescue dog who was at risk of being shot by marksmen. Hazel lived out for 8 weeks, tracking her with specialised equipment. She managed to get her eating from her hand but not trusting enough to secure her. Eventually, Wendy was safely darted (temporarily tranquillised) by Animal Capture UK & Canine Capture UK, and after weeks of rehab she is now happily in a new forever home.

“It’s an emotional roller coaster, yes,” says Hazel.

“However, our emotions cannot come before the dog’s thinking, as it can compromise their safety.

It is not your pet until after it’s back in your arms, secure and safe.”

Then you’ll get that priceless look - the look of ‘what’s all the fuss been for?!’” Hazel and the other trackers will do whatever it takes, however long it takes, for you to get that look.

EQUIPMENT The rescue

work relies on kind public donations to purchase and maintain thermal scopes, drones, humane traps, bait feed, cameras and other equipment. Hazel’s GoFundMe page is at uk.gofundme.com/f/Equipmentand-supplies-to-assist-missinglost-dogs.

“Thank you so much for your kindness and support. Each and every owner with a missing dog will be eternally grateful.”

CREATE A SCENT SAMPLE Hazel works with Search Dogs For Lost Dogs Scotland, the only National Association of Specialist Dog Users pet trailing dogs in Scotland. If ever you need them, providing a good scent sample will hugely increase the chances of a successful reunion with your dog.

This takes 5 minutes and you’ll need disposable gloves, a make-up pad and a mason jar.

1. Put on the gloves so you don’t contaminate the swab with your own scent.

2. Take a cotton pad and rub it down your dog’s back, legs, head and mouth.

3. Place in the mason jar and close it (do not re-open). Label with date and your dog’s name.

Repeat with a separate jar if you have more than one dog. (A sealed plastic bag or container will do, however mason jars are better as can hold a scent for years).

HEALTH

Save a Life with

CPR

Football fans across Europe watching events unfold at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on the 12th June will remember that day always. Christian Eriksen, a 29 year-old Danish midfielder, was seen to collapse on the pitch.

The medical team were quick to respond and started CPR. A defibrillator was used just once and 14 minutes after his collapse, Eriksen was on his way to hospital. 35 minutes after that, fans were told that Eriksen was alive and stable in hospital.

Events like these are horrific to watch. The fear and panic on the faces of his team-mates, the realisation that if this can happen to a fit young international athlete, it can happen to anyone anywhere. It is also a wonderful example of how first aid really can work. Taking time to learn basic skills saves lives and keeps families together. The British Heart Foundation has reported a 2000% increase in the number of visits to its website on how to do CPR in the 5 days following Eriksen’s collapse.

Eriksen had a sudden cardiac arrest. His heart stopped because the electrical signals that keep it beating rhythmically had gone wrong. This is different to a heart attack which is caused by a clot in the arteries supplying the heart muscle.

The classic symptom of a heart attack is chest pain that can be referred to the left arm or jaw.

A person having a heart attack will usually be conscious, breathless and sweaty but can go on to full cardiac arrest. Both are medical emergencies so dial 999 as soon as possible.

A First Aid course will teach you how to recognise these conditions and carry out CPR which is Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. Even if you do not fancy giving

rescue breaths, chest compressions alone can help. As Eriksen demonstrated, an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) really does make a difference to survival. More and more are located around our communities – see below.

Do not be afraid to try using one if needed. You cannot do any harm, the machine will speak to you to tell you exactly what to do, and you may just save a life.

In 2020 The London Ambulance Service produced figures to clearly show that the use of AEDs in the community in the previous ten years had doubled the chances of saving a life after cardiac arrest. However, this was from 5% to 10%. The chances of saving a life are getting better and will continue to get better if more of us learn CPR. Unfortunately, thanks to medical TV shows, we seem to have an unrealistic idea of how successful CPR is. Overall, 70% of patients in medical dramas survive their cardiac arrest. This does not represent real life. You may only have a 1 in 10 chance of saving a person in cardiac arrest with CPR and a defibrillator but that is so much better than none at all. Denmark lost the football match that day but life won. Let’s learn the skills to give life the chance to win as often as possible.

WINE TASTING

I love pairing wine with food. There is so much to consider and sometimes the least obvious combination is the best.

A favourite example of this is a pairing of Argentinian Malbec with Cashel Blue, a mild blue cheese from Ireland served on an oatcake. A fairly standard pairing. However, when I add a smear of strawberry jam, the pairing goes from standard to sensational! Not only is it a surprising combination- it is incredibly delicious and guaranteed to wow my guests!

I read once that Snickers is the perfect chocolate bar; roasted peanuts for crunch and texture with a hint of salt; caramel for sweetness; nougat for creamy contrasting texture and chocolate to hold it all together. I think my wine, cheese and jam combination works in the same way as it has the five components of taste: sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami. Not only that, the texture of the crunchy oatcake, the umami yet creamy quality of the cheese and the supple tannins and warmth of alcohol from the red wine coat the palate, adding another layer of sensation.

I have presented hundreds of virtual wine and cheese tastings across the UK over the past year and noticed a debate developing across the county.

The question? What order to prepare your oatcake? Oatcake, cheese and jam on top or oatcake, jam and cheese? There are, however, some tasters in Somerset who pointblank refused to add jam to their cheese.

Now to find a wine to pair with Snickers….

THE NEW NORMAL

Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vac-cee-ee-een (sung to the tune of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene’)

My mother had a round scar on her upper arm: the mark left by her smallpox vaccine. I was reminded of this recently when I saw a cartoon showing a mother and her little girl.

The mother had the same mark on her arm.

Looking up at her, the child asked, “What is that mark, Mummy?” So her mum explained that it was the mark left by her smallpox vaccination. “Why don’t I have one?” asked the little girl. And her mother replied, “Because it worked.”

According to one estimate, in the 20th century about 300 million people worldwide were killed by that virus. But because of the success of the vaccine, in 1980 WHO declared smallpox eradicated. The war against the virus that caused smallpox was won! Isn’t that fantastic?

I’d love to hear the experts announce that the coronavirus has been eradicated – or at least that it is under control to the same extent as influenza. I’m so grateful to those who worked diligently to produce Covid vaccines, to those who took part in the trials, and to those who administered the jab and staffed the vaccine centres. If you are among that group, thank you! On the whole, the process seems to be a huge success. And it has been so encouraging to listen to news of dropping death rates and decreasing infection stats.

Not everyone is a fan of the Covid vaccine.

There are the anti-vaxxers and then there are those who are against this specific vaccine 26 | THE DELL

only. Some people worry that it was developed quickly, while others have concerns about what might have gone into the vaccine recipe.

One person told me she and her family are relying on their healthy immune systems to fight off the virus. And I have heard various theories about microchips being implanted via the injection by those who wish to control us.

I’m not an anti-vaxxer, and I was only too happy to get both doses of the vaccine. But I can understand that people wish to reserve their right to say what goes into their bodies.

So I’m glad I was invited, not coerced. The problem, of course, is that our refusal to be vaccinated could negatively affect our neighbour.

We will all have stories to pass on to future generations, though we won’t have a circular scar. I wouldn’t have minded one – it would make me look even more like my mama than I already do.

And besides, scars come with war.

ta De s o

Colinton The word “staycation” has largely come to mean not holidaying abroad. To that end, then, all my childhood family holidays were staycations as we never left British shores. I think the true definition of a staycation should mean not leaving home at all but instead taking time off to step outside of our normal routines and see our immediate surroundings through a different lens.

Like many people, the experience of lockdown gave me a newfound love for my home environment and on my daily morning walks I’ve found myself thinking how much I would love Colinton if I were visiting on holiday. So, for those of us who won’t be going away anywhere over the summer, I’ve drafted up my guide to the best things to do in Costa Del Colinton.

• GO ITALIAN – With two great Italian eateries in the village you can dine out as if in Rome.

Order a nice Chianti and maybe Google a couple of choice phrases to give the waiters a laugh while you’re at it for that full foreign holiday experience.

• DRINK & DINE AL FRESCO – With two great village pubs with beer gardens, you can eat, drink and be merry in the great outdoors.

Why not dine in one and enjoy cocktails in the other then swap them around for your next night out (we don’t want to show any favouritism after all!)

• MOVE OUT – If you’re lucky enough to have your own outdoor space then really use it to its full potential over the summer. Camp out in your back garden, hire a hot tub, grab chairs, cushions and blankets and spend as much time as you can outside. Fire pits, chimineas and umbrellas can all help to cope with the vagaries of the Scottish summer.

• HAVE TEA IN THE PARK – We have two cracking parks in Colinton so pack a picnic 32 | THE DELL

or just a flask, blanket and book and head to either Spylaw or Campbell Park. Both also have playparks for young children.

• HIT THE TRAIL – Head down The Long Steps from Bridge Road on the poetry trail: A Walk with Robert Louis Stevenson, learning some of Colinton’s history en route.

• GET A TUNNEL VISION – Check out Chris Rutterford’s amazing artwork in the Colinton Tunnel - Scotland’s largest historical mural. And don’t forget to get a photo with your wings!

• GO ON SAFARI – Alright, so you won’t see any big game or herds of wildebeest majestically sweeping across the plain, but, if you time your walks well, you may just be rewarded with sightings of deer, hedgehogs, otters, badgers, herons or bats. Not to mention sheep, goats and, last but by no means least, alpacas. You might even be lucky enough to be able to book a slot to walk with the alpacas!

Whatever you do over the summer, take the time to enjoy a break from your usual routine, recharge and stay safe.

LOCAL ENVIRONMENT

We make no apologies for talking about swans again but we’re sure you’ll understand why we wanted to share another image so quickly.

This pair of swans are new to the ponds in Wester Inch and within the last few weeks became the proud parents of 8 beautiful cygnets.

Whilst they’re this young (this was within about a day of them hatching) they’re not quite waterproof yet so hitch a ride on Mum’s back, and why not! It looks a great way to travel if you ask us.

At this time of year the male (cob) swan will fiercely defend his brood, and we’ve already seen some off-lead dogs at the receiving end of his protective side. No harm was caused to either animals thankfully, but it’s incredibly important to keep your dogs on a lead when around nesting birds. This could either be around our waterways or in fields, and moorland. You’d be very surprised at how many birds nest on the ground and are susceptible to disturbance by humans (and our furry companions)! @KonectMagazines

These cygnets will stay with their mother for the first 6 months of their lives before either moving on their own to find a new territory, or being chased off by the resident male in advance of the next breeding season.

In the meantime, we can all enjoy watching the springtime babies (big and small) grow and learn how to cope with the demands of life, and appreciate the challenges they face.

FOLLOW AN ROUTE

’S

This walk follows a section of an historic cattle droving route, starting just off the Lang Whang past Kirknewton airfield.

Beginning of the walk at Selm Muir

Today’s breeds would not be able to take the long roads that these earlier, extremely hardy Highland cattle did

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the droving of cattle from the Highlands to England was a massive business requiring very hardy and skilled drovers. This route would have been trodden by tens of thousands of cattle every year, along with their handlers and would-be thieves. Today, it’s a very quiet walk that offers varied terrain and some lovely views, and can be taken in sections for shorter walks, or a long walk all the way through the Pentlands if you arrange return transport from West Linton.

Taking the A70 west out of Balerno, turn right onto Leyden Road, which is approximately 1 mile past the B7031 turn to Kirknewton.

The walk starts at the entrance to Selm Muir wood, just over a mile along Leyden Road.

There is space for a small number of cars at the entrance to the wood. Signage indicates the wood and the path to “Little Vantage and Thieves Road.”

After a short distance of flat path, a route marker on the left indicates a stile to cross into the fields. (There is often livestock in these fields, so this walk is best done without a dog or with them on a short leash). Past the farm and Hilly Cow Wigwams, the route climbs gently back towards the A70.

As you crest the hill behind the farm there are lovely views of the range of the Pentlands. The route is waymarked through the open fields here and short boardwalks are in place where it tends to get boggy.

Descending down to the A70 and over the stile next to a Scottish Water installation, cross the A70 and pick up the path signed the Cauldstane Slap and Thieves Road.

This spot is called Little Vantage. There is a car park here, and for a shorter walk you

36 | THE DELL 2 | BATHGATE

@KonectMagazines

can begin or end here, either retracing your steps to Selm Muir or starting here and going up into the Pentlands.

PETTY THEFTS: LITTLE VANTAGE was the site of a coaching inn and farm dating from the early 18th century. It’s hard to imagine as it has such a remote feeling now, but there was also a toll house here (this was the Edinburgh - Lanark turnpike road) and at one point a school nearby with 40 pupils. Census records show that in1849 Elizabeth Wilson, a worker at Harperrig, was convicted for the crime of stealing a tumbler and two brass candle snuffers from Little Vantage Inn, and, in view of her three previous convictions for minor crime, was sentenced to 7 years transportation. In 1857 Walter Gray, a water company labourer, was found guilty of stealing a plaid and a cravat from the kitchen of Little Vantage Inn and sentenced to 20 days imprisonment.

Heading up into the Pentlands from Little Vantage it’s a fairly challenging hill walk. Follow the path along the line of the old dyke. The terrain is moorland which can be very muddy in places, and although there are some stepping stones and boards to help you, they can be quite slippery when it’s wet so take care. The route takes you over a small bridge over the water of Leith and uphill through fields of cattle and into the heather moorland. The two peaks ahead of you are East Cairn Hill and West Cairn Hill, and the gap between them is the Cauldstane Slap. At this point you can take the left path up to East Cairn Hill, or right to West Cairn Hill. From each of these vantage points you will get a great view of the Pentlands, West Lothian, Harperrig Reservoir and across to Fife. If you’re really lucky on a clear day you can see across Stirlingshire to

the Highlands beyond. You may even decide to do both peaks!

After admiring the views from the Cairns, you can either retrace your steps back down to Little Vantage, or continue on to West Linton – in which case you will need to have made arrangements for someone to pick you up, as this is realistically a one-way walk. The downhill track is not too well marked to start with but it gradually becomes wider, and passing Baddinsgill Farm it becomes a metalled road down to West Linton, where you can get refreshments while you wait for your lift to collect you! There are also buses from West Linton into Edinburgh.

Drovers would have walked around 10 miles per day, with their dogs and the cattle, sleeping near their cattle at night to protect them. But thieves and cattle reivers harassed them regularly, giving this route through the Pentlands, and others like it, the nickname “Thieves’ Road.”

VIOLENT THEFTS: Alone up in the heather you can easily imagine that centuries ago this was a lawless and dangerous place - one that merited the building of the castle stronghold at Cairns. You can glimpse the remains of Cairns Castle (in private ownership) at the far side of Harperrig reservoir as you head up into the hills from Little Vantage. Sir George Crichton of Carnys, who built the castle in around 1440, charged himself with the security of this pass through the Pentlands.

The gap in the hills here made it easy for thieves to break in and steal livestock on the Cairns and Colzium estates, and numerous raids are recorded, notably one August in 1600 when a band of thieves raided land which is now under Harperrig reservoir, taking cattle and horses and killing their keepers.
