For those of our readers who live near, or would like
to travel to, the Scottish Borders, the organizers of the Scottish Borders
Walking Festival are now selling tickets. The dates for the festival are 7 - 14
September 2019. A James Hogg Poetry Walk will be part of the
experience.
The week-long festival is described thus on the
Scottish Borders Walking Festival Facebook page:
"Scotland’s longest established walking festival
is celebrating its 25th edition! Run by volunteers, with the support of

guests and exciting partnerships coming soon...watch this space!"
On the Visit Scotland webpage

by Scotland’s top outdoor writer and presenter of the BBC Adventure Show,
Cameron McNeish, who will appear at the festival’s opening night
celebrations"
