Starting beside the River Almond in Howden South, Livingston, we will follow a network of paths through Almond Park to & around Mid Calder. Most of us have travelled around the Lizzie Bryce roundabout but have you ever wondered who she was? Well now is your chance to find out & discover some more of Mid Calder's fascinating history on this walk.
