Wild Places and Open Spaces

Here’s an exciting new way we are encouraging people from North Edinburgh to get outdoors and connect more with the place they call home.

Our ‘Wild Places and Open Spaces’ booklet is a helpful and attractive new resource highlighting some of the lovely outdoor spaces there are in the area.

On Tuesday (11th Dec) at 11am the booklet will be officially launched with the first of 10 ‘Storytelling Walks’. We have two P5 classes coming along to hear the story of the Giants Causeway as they walk around a local park. There will also be festive snacks and hot chocolate.

This event will begin at Finn MacCool’s Footprint- a sculpture on West Pilton Park.
