We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a beautiful walk that starts at New Lanark, the mill community funded by Robert Owen. It passes along one bank of the river Clyde before crossing to the other, where we walk past the spectacular Cora Linn and Bonnington Linn waterfalls. We then return to the UNESCO heritage site of New Lanark where if time, we will be able to explore a little. The site merits a whole day trip in order to enter the buildings.
Note that because of the obstacle of the fallen tree, the numbers on this walk are limited to 15.
If you would like to join us, please Text or WhatsApp the Walk Leader to book a place in advance, noting that for some walks places may be limited. Please advise the walk leader of any issue that may affect your ability to complete the walk, if you intend to travel independently to the start of the walk, and/or if you are willing to drive/car share from the meeting point.
Also, if you have one, please remember to bring your ICE card with you; or, if you don’t have one, a note of your proposed emergency contact name and number will be required in case of emergency.
As conditions underfoot can vary, stout walking shoes/ boots, gaiters and walking poles, if you use them, are recommended.
Please note that, unfortunately, dogs cannot be accommodated on our walks.
