Offering a memorable journey through the scenic landscapes of West Lothian, the popular Two Houses and a Castle Guided Walk returns this summer. Led by knowledgeable guides, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history of the region, discovering the stories behind three of its most iconic buildings:

  • Hopetoun House: A magnificent 18th century stately home with stunning architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens.
  • Blackness Castle: A formidable 15th century fortress with a commanding view over the Firth of Forth.
  • The House of the Binns: An elegant 17th century historic house offering a glimpse into the life of Scottish nobility.

Please note that this walk covers approximately 5 miles and includes some challenging conditions, such as rough terrain and fence crossings. A good level of fitness is required to fully enjoy this adventure. For more details and to book your place go to Two Houses and a Castle Guided Walk.
