West Lothian

Walking Group

Aberdour - walk from Dalgety Bay to Braefoot Point, June 2022.

The walks are every 4th Saturday of the month during the more clement months, commencing at either 10am or 10:30. The length of the walk is anything between 4 and 6 miles. There is a different leader for each walk and walks are very rarely cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

There is usually lunch at a handy venue after each walk, and sometimes even a coffee at the halfway stage.

Following Covid restrictions walks resumed in 2021, beginning in May with the Linlithgow area.
