Following the success of last year’s Hidden Gems walks PCHP are running another series of six walks discovering parts of North Edinburgh you never knew existed! Even people who have lived in North Edinburgh all their lives are guaranteed to find out new things about their local area.
“I can’t believe I learned so much about the area I lived in considering I have been here all my life” said Kathy, who joined in with last year’s walks.
All walks are led by PCHP’s award-winning walk leaders and will be at an easy pace. All walks start at 7pm except the first one (21 July) which starts at 6.30pm
The first walk takes you to Lauriston Castle. Meet up at Silverknowes Golf Course at 6.30pm on Thursday (21 July). The walk will take about an hour to an hour and a half.
