Hmmm, just had as look on FR24 and they seem to be making the turn over Livingston rather than before it. My guess would be for separation from any immediately previous departures? A departure a few minutes ago, also heading south, didn't make the 'swerve' so it doesn't seem to be for ground clearance. (Pentland Hills to the south).
