We are the Balerno Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
After receiving a warm welcome and meeting other walkers, your walk leader will give you an overview of your walk with the opportunity to ask any questions before enjoying the fabulous views of our beautiful countryside
Starting from the Pentland View Carpark, off Lanark Road West in Currie. We start our walk crossing the road and joining a short stretch of the Water of Leith before turning up to Blinkbonny village. From here we take a country track, with views of the Pentlands, towards Colinton. Passing an equestrian and walking under the city bypass, we arrive in Colinton where we turn down the glen on a zigzag walkway to Spylaw Park where we will stop for a break. We finally join the Water of Leith and follow this track back to the start.
