Newly formed in 2007, the South Queesferry Group provides a range of walks, including walks closer to home.
Everyone is welcome although children (under 18 year olds) must be accompanied by an adult.
If you would like to bring your dog on a walk, please contact the walk leader beforehand to see if it is possible.

We enjoy a variety of walks, both at weekends and weekdays and would welcome new walkers. You do not have to be a member of the Ramblers Association to come along.

Further details of the walks can be obtained by emailing Nigel at echonige@yahoo.co.uk
