​Join other sustainability leaders and pioneers to enjoy being out in nature and have inspiring conversations with your peers.

We will walk through the oak and birch woods alongside the River North Esk which has carved out a dramatic gorge through the rock to form Roslin Glen.

​Today it's a green and peaceful place to escape from the city, but in the past the river powered industry here, including a carpet factory and a gunpowder mill.

• ​Meeting point: Roslin Glen Country Park Car Park

• ​Distance: 4.25km / 2.75 miles.

• ​Ascent 120m.

• ​Clear woodland and riverside paths, minor road. There are a large number of steps.

​🚏 Getting here:

• ​To reduce emissions and minimise car parking in the local area we encourage car sharing. If you can offer, or need, a lift please reach out in the event chat once you register, or email osbert@realise.earth
