Overview

Glenkinchie Distillery Circular

Circular walk starting from Glenkinchie Distillery  in East Lothian , where we initially take a detour to the delightful  Saultoun wood before following the Birns Water to Pencaitland. We'll use the disused railway line to return to return to the distillery where we can hopefully visit the cafe for tea/coffee/refreshments.

The walk is on relatively good paths with some sections of road walking to where care is required. Paths can be muddy in places with some short sections uphill/downhill sections, but is mostly relatively flat.

To register, please contact the walk leader, and advise leader of any concerns you have that may impact your ability to complete the walk, and if you wish to visit the cafe.

We regret to advise that dogs are not permitted on our walks.

 Max 12 walkers

PD £5.50

ITD £1.50

Walk from Glenkinchie starts at 09:45
