WALKS 2025

The Union Canal has had a chequered history over two centuries of use. Built to service industry for half that time, and after years of decline, now revitalised as a 34 mile ribbon of water for outdoor activities. Today, our group of eight strolled 3 miles west from the Edinburgh Basin to Slateford to savour the delights of this short gem of a walk. Fine weather, good company, 'a level playing field', and a welcoming eatery all added to the enjoyment. Only 31 miles to go ! J.G.

A favourite walk of many did that, the one from Earlsferry through Elie, to stroll up to Kilconquhor loch and the local church. This kept us to the straight, narrow and beautiful countryside.
