Great Scottish Walks

The Great Scottish Walks have established themselves as one of Scotland’s premier fundraising events, since their launch in Edinburgh in 1998.  Great Scottish Walk Edinburgh – 22 June 2008 – Meadowbank Stadium – 1030am

The routes (1 – 6 or 12 miles) are designed to take in the cities most scenic historic sights and leafiest parks. Along the routes walkers and supporters will be treated to entertainment and when they reach the finishing line walkers are greeted with a carnival atmosphere in the form of vibrant music from samba bands and the announcement and cheering of entrants across the finishing line.  Details of the routes can be seen by viewing the walks official website at http://greatscottishwalk.com

Each event includes a two mile walk, two mile fun run, toddlers romp, teddy bears picnic, bouncy castle, face painting, Chaplin’s disco bus and local produce stalls.  All entrants will receive a goody bag, certificate and medal and entry is £5 – parents and guardians go free.
