Can Anyone Identify What Line These Tracks Were Part Of

[SteveP29]

Afternoon all, myself and my o/h went to the Morrisons supermarket built on the land that Granton Gasworks in Edinburgh used to be.
We walked down past the perimeter of where Granton Castle used to stand.
While walking down the bank we spotted the lines that I've enclosed in a red box in the picture.
They're to the north of the remaining gasholder in Granton and I've Googled this extensively since we got home at lunchtime and I've turned up absolutely nothing.
The only thing I can think is that it may have been an alternative supply line for the gasworks that may have run along West Shore Road and joined the line coming down to Granton Harbour from the other line from the gasworks.

Anyone possibly got any information that I couldn't find please?

Thanks in advance for any info offered.

Based on what I can find using https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ doesn't look like any closed railway passed the area of those tracks (marked in red), although trains operated nearby some time in the past.

They have the appearance of a training facility, so they may not be laid on the site of a former railway.

If anyone wants coordinates for the track it's at
55.981532, -3.244323

Could have been a branch for the gas works.

There was quite a bustling mineral railway there at one point. I'd agree with the above that it now looks more like a training facility.

The 1914 25” map does not show any lines in that specific spot, but there are various industrial lines all around it and the layout could have changed over the years. However, as said above, it does look more like a training facility.

A probable explanation:

Railway Engineering City and Guilds SCQF Level 5 will give you an introduction to the railway industry and prepare you for a career in railway engineering. The course lasts 18 weeks with the first two weeks based at Edinburgh College’s Granton campus. You will then go to our shore site where you will work on our simulated track for 12 weeks and undertake practical training including Personal Track Safety (PTS) and Track Induction Course (TIC).

Google streetview appears to show signalling equipment, so I think that a testing facility is likely.

Probably to do with this.
