Walking Programme...
GLASGOW BOTANIC GARDENS & THE RIVER KELVIN - January - A great way to kick-off the new year. We will be walking from Byres Road, exploring Glasgow's Botanic Gardens and finally following the River Kelvin back to the centre of the west end. (£10)
EDINBURGH BOTANICAL GARDNENS & THE WATERS OF LEITH - February - This interesting walk will begin in Stockbridge where we will walk along the picturesque Waters of Leith before heading off to the impressive Edinburgh Botanical Gardens. The perfect way to spend a Sunday. (£10)
DUNBLANE - March - This walk starts from Dunblane Hydro and takes us on a ramble through woodlands to historic Sheriffmuir, with spectacular views over Dunblane and the Western Ochils. We will end up at the Clan MacRaes Monument and the Gathering Stone where the Duke of Argyll is said to have stood to watch the Jacobite army gather for the battle. (£10)
KINNOULL HILL - April - Don't be put off by the name, this not so much a hill, more a gentle stroll upwards. With spring on its way and the leaves starting to appear on the trees, this woodland walk, which is home to red squirrels and jays, leads to Kinnoull Tower, with its spectacular views over the Tay Valley. (£10)
ABERFOYLE - May - We will be meeting at the David Marshall Lodge, situated at the start of the Highlands, with its great views over the Campsies. We will head off along forest trails to explore the start of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. This walk is especially good for nature lovers. (£10)
GLEN ALMOND, BY CRIEFF - June - In the mid 1750's the whole of this glen was one continuous mixed forest whose seclusion and cover made it ideal for caterans (cattle rustlers), outlaws and smugglers. Today, the glen has few trees and an air of peace and tranquillity, making it a perfect destination for walkers. (£10)
All walks are low level, for all abilities and are approximately 2 hours long. Please wear good walking footwear and waterproof clothing. Also, we advise that you bring something to eat and drink.
