Welcome to Feet First

Feet First is an educational walking programme designed and run by the Waterways Trust Scotland.

Since 2006, Feet First has provided free guided walks for schools, community groups and the general public.

Our walks aim to provide information on wildlife, waterway heritage, local history and water safety.

SInce 2006, some 500 children have undertaken and achieved the John Muir Award Discovery Level certificate as a result of participating in our walking programmes.

Please look at the View Projects tab above to see what we have been doing.

We will be publishing information on upcoming walks on the What's On page.
