The Lothian & Borders Area of the Ramblers' Association consists of 11 geographical groups plus a Young Walker's group for the under 40's and the Stravaigers Group for those wishing shorter walks.

You can find details of the Groups walk programmes on the following pages. If you find a walk, or other event, on this site that interests you, please use the email address for that page, identifying what walk you are interested in and we'll e-mail you back with details of how to join it.

The Groups operate a policy of "try before you buy". You can attend up to 3 Group Walks before you are expected to join the Ramblers' Association. Once you become a member you will receive a copy of our TRAIL magazine which is published twice a year and contains the full details of the walks programme as well as interesting articles.

You can download a copy of the most recent edition of TRAIL here. You will need a copy of Adobe Reader to read the file, you can download the software from here.

As a member of the Ramblers' Association you can attend walks given by any Ramblers' Group. There are currently over 500 Ramblers local Groups so that's alot of walking!!
