Scottish Borders Walking Festival

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 Scottish Borders Council, aiming to provide affordable, varied and interesting guided walks and more in this secret, unspoilt, beautiful part of southern Scotland.

On the Visit Scotland webpage detailing this event, we read that "this year’s event will be kicked off 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"
