Virtual Walking – By arrangement

Join someone for a virtual walk.
A virtual walk is going for  a walk on your own (as per Government guidelines for 30 minutes) but we will call you and walk with you (but in another place of course)
All we need to know is when you are going for a walk and a volunteer or staff member will phone for a chat whilst you are walking.
 Call 0131 225 3626 to arrange or text 07860 021 262 or email info@grassmarket.org
Always leave your number if it goes to voicemail.
