East Lothian schools run on the Curriculum for Excellence; our tutors plan in P and S years and prepare learners for SQA Computing Science and Maths, National 5 through Advanced Higher. Holiday weeks come out of the timetable once we have the dates. ### East Lothian, Edinburgh and SQA subjects Read [coding classes in East Lothian](/coding-classes-in-east-lothian), [Edinburgh](/best-coding-class-in-edinburgh) and [Higher Maths tuition](/higher-maths-tuition-online). Why we teach reasoning before tools is on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Musselburgh project ## A road distance chart for Musselburgh with the Floyd-Warshall algorithm Every junction to every junction, three loops, a numpy speed-up and a cross-check. From OpenStreetMap the learner keeps the public roads in a rectangle over Musselburgh, 120.5 km of them, and merges points where a road merely bends, leaving 1,124 junctions joined by 1,286 road segments. A 1,124 by 1,124 table starts with the length of each direct segment and infinity everywhere else. Floyd-Warshall then makes 1,124 passes: on pass k, any pair whose route would be shorter by going through junction k gets its entry lowered. That is about 1.42 billion small updates, which numpy handles in 10.1 seconds on an ordinary laptop by updating a whole row block at a time. To be sure the table is right, the learner compares it with Dijkstra's algorithm run from a sample of junctions: every value agrees. Dijkstra from every junction would take an estimated 4.2 seconds here, so on a sparse road network the repeated single-source approach is faster, while Floyd-Warshall wins on simplicity and on dense networks. Across all pairs, the average drive between two junctions is 3.21 km and the longest shortest route, the network's diameter within the rectangle, is 10.26 km. | From | To | By road | Straight line | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Monktonhall | Stoneybank | 0.4 km | 0.31 km | | Levenhall | Pinkie Braes | 0.8 km | 0.41 km | | Fisherrow | Stoneyhill | 1.3 km | 0.87 km | | Inveresk | Monktonhall | 3.2 km | 1.09 km | | Wallyford | Monktonhall | 5.1 km | 2.93 km | Most pairs of places are about one and a half times as far by road as in a straight line, but Inveresk to Monktonhall stands out at nearly three times. The table cannot say why; a learner would look at the map to see what the roads must go round. Distances here use public roads inside the rectangle only, so any quicker route leaving the box is not counted. ### P5 to P7 Fill in a small distance chart for five places, then check whether any trip is shorter via a third. ### S1 to S3 Write Floyd-Warshall in plain Python for a ten-junction map of Musselburgh streets. ### S4 and up Vectorise it with numpy for 1,124 junctions and time it against Dijkstra from every start. ### OpenStreetMap roads, our table Road geometry is from OpenStreetMap and its contributors under the Open Database Licence; place points from postcodes.io. The rectangle, the simplification, the timings and every distance are our own work, not an official route planner. Algorithms and AI ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents Short code can hide a very large amount of work. | In the Floyd-Warshall project | When an AI writes code for you | | --- | --- | | Three loops did 1.42 billion updates | Count the work, not the lines | | numpy made it take 10.1 seconds | How code runs matters as much as what it says | | Repeated Dijkstra was faster here | The textbook choice depends on the data | | A cross-check confirmed every value | Verify results a second, independent way | | Routes leaving the box were ignored | Know the limits of your input | Ask an AI assistant for "distances between all places" and it will usually produce working Floyd-Warshall code in seconds, correct and possibly far too slow if written as plain Python loops. Vibe coding means the learner states what is needed and an AI drafts the code; in Musselburgh lessons the learner then times it, estimates its cost and checks a sample of answers another way before using it. AI agents that write and run code for you make these speed and correctness trade-offs silently. Agent building comes once a learner writes Python unassisted, normally in the senior years or adulthood, and Copilot Studio agents are taught in private lessons only. See [how students in the UK move on to AI agents](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk), and the reasoning in [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk). We have no affiliation with OpenStreetMap, National Records of Scotland or postcodes.io. Their data is open and was used as published; the analysis and any error in it belong to Modern Age Coders.

[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)Python and graphs ## What is the Floyd-Warshall algorithm, and how do you run it in Python? Floyd-Warshall finds the shortest route between every pair of points in a network by checking, for each point in turn, whether going through it shortens any route; in Python it is three nested loops, and numpy makes it fast. On 120.5 km of Musselburgh roads with 1,124 junctions, a numpy version filled the whole distance table in 10.1 seconds, agreeing with Dijkstra's algorithm at every checked value. Learners who have built it ask of any code an AI hands them: how much work does this really do, and how would I check its answers? Being able to weigh an algorithm's cost lets Musselburgh teenagers judge AI-written code instead of simply running it, which is reason enough to learn Python in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How it works ## Fisherrow to Wallyford, on screen The whole set-up is a computer with a camera and an internet line good enough to stream. ### Learner drives the code Typing, prompting and running are the student's job; the tutor watches on screen share and questions every choice. ### Trial finds the start In the free session we see the current level and note any SQA exam coming up. ### First session free The opening lesson costs nothing and finishes with a course suggestion. ### Classes of equals Five to ten learners from across the UK make each group, matched by stage. ### Two per week None during Scottish school holidays. ### Fixed evening Clock changes are our tutors' problem; your lesson time does not move. Why lessons are online Gathering five learners of one level in one room on one evening is hard in any town. Over video it is easy. Fees ## Musselburgh fees Musselburgh learners are charged our international rates, which cover every country outside India. First class**USD 0** One whole lesson free, then a course suggestion. Group tuition**USD 100** About eight live small-class lessons per month. Private tuition**USD 150** About eight live one-to-one lessons per month. All pricing is in US dollars, never sterling, and the first invoice waits until the trial has agreed a course and a regular weekly time. The pricing page explains holidays, missed sessions and moving between private and group lessons.

FAQ ## Musselburgh questions Distance tables, Floyd-Warshall, Python, vibe coding and lesson practicalities. ### What is the population of Musselburgh? National Records of Scotland estimated 21,100 people in the Musselburgh locality in mid-2020. ### Do you teach online Python classes in Musselburgh? We do, over live video, for learners aged 6 to 67 in Musselburgh, Wallyford, Whitecraig and the rest of East Lothian. ### What is the difference between Floyd-Warshall and Dijkstra? Dijkstra finds shortest routes from one starting point; Floyd-Warshall finds them between all pairs at once. On Musselburgh's sparse road network, running Dijkstra from every junction was quicker, but Floyd-Warshall is simpler to write. ### What is all-pairs shortest paths? The problem of finding the shortest route between every pair of points in a network, the computer version of a road atlas distance chart. ### What does the Musselburgh project involve? Building a road network of 1,124 junctions from OpenStreetMap, filling its complete distance table with Floyd-Warshall in numpy, and checking it against Dijkstra. ### Is vibe coding taught? Throughout, at every age: the learner plans, the AI helps draft, and the learner tests and fixes. ### When can students start building AI agents? When they write Python without help, usually senior pupils or adults; Copilot Studio agents are private lessons only. ### Is there help with SQA exams? Yes, in Computing Science and Maths from National 5 to Advanced Higher, taught for understanding with no promised grades. ### What are the fees? No charge for the trial lesson, then USD 100 a month in a class or USD 150 a month for one-to-one teaching. ### What happens in the school holidays? Lessons pause; send the dates and we plan round them.
