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

The walk will explore the lovely grounds of Penicuik House before joining the path along the River North Esk back to Penicuik. Continuing down the valley, using the former railway route, we pass through Auchendinny, then over the Firth viaduct before descending to the remains of the gunpowder factory in Roslin Glen. The final stretch of the walk involves climbing a long flight of steps (Jacob’s Ladder) leading to the chapel and the village.
We will meet at the bus stop by the Original Rosslyn Inn to catch a bus to Penicuik town centre (near Lidl, B&M). Bus times are 09.32 or 09.42.
If you would like to join us, please Text 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 (In Case of Emergency) card with you; or a note of your proposed emergency contact name and number will be required.
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. Guide/Assistance dogs are welcome.
All finishing times are approximate.
