Lothian and Borders Ramblers


The Lothian and Borders Area of Ramblers Scotland consists of eleven geographical groups, plus a Young Walkers group for the under 40's and the Stravaigers Group for those looking for shorter walks (the latter is listed under the Edinburgh Group).

You can find details of the Groups walk programmes on the group pages – select the Groups link on the left, or use the search function (below left) to search the entire site for places or events that interest you. If you find a walk, or other event, that you would like more information on, please use the email address for that page, identifying the event you are interested in and we'll email 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. Once you become a member you will receive a copy of our TRAIL magazine which is published twice a year and contains full details of the walks programme as well as interesting articles. Further details on how to join the Ramblers can be found at http://www.ramblers.org.uk/Join.

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