For this easy 7 mile walk we join forces with the Glasgow Gay Ramblers - a long standing group, who for the last 45 years or so have been meeting monthly for local walks in the surrounding countryside. For their August walk each year, they head slightly further afield and this year extend a welcome to GOC members to join their walk from Abbey St Bathans in the Scottish Borders.

The walk will follow the Whiteadder Water to Ellemford Bridge, returning along an attractive wooded section of the Southern Upland Way.

The walk is described in more detail on the Walkhighlands website.
