Overview

A leisurely evening’s circuit of Linlithgow which somehow misses out both the loch and the palace (you’ll see it in the distance); in fact pretty much most of Linlithgow come to think of it. Instead we invite you to walk in the footsteps of 14th century monks, 16th century agricultural workers and 18th century narrowboat men. Assuming the weather is kind there will be views of the Forth bridges in one direction and the Trossachs in the other. If not there will be mud. And not just me.

There’s a 250 metre single-file walk along a potentially busy stretch of B-road near the start of the walk. Otherwise it’s a bucolic amble along well-maintained tracks and paths. What larks!
