Scottish Borders Walking Festival

Join us in exploring beautiful Kelso and surrounding areas. A full week of 28 led walks. Up to four walks a day of varying levels. Exciting social programme. The first week long walking festival in Scottish Borders was held in West Linton in 1994. Since then, the Scottish Borders Walking Festival has moved from town to town each year, co-ordinated by local volunteers. Kelso are delighted to be hosting the walking festival in 2023, and a group of volunteers from Kelso Community Council, Visit Kelso and local walking groups have created walking and social programmes that will not only introduce you to our beautiful town and surrounding area, but hopefully encourage you back for more in the future. We can’t wait for you to join us!
