Join us for The Rock Trust Kilt Walk 2009

Its a sponsored walk for all the family, where you can proudly wear your kilt, along with hundreds of other tartan walkers, on a 5km route around some of Scotland’s most famous sights.

Starting and finishing at the Ross Theatre in Edinburgh’s West Princes Street Gardens, the route loops round the Gardens, past the back of Edinburgh Castle, before dropping back down to the finish directly below the mighty Castle ramparts!

On the day we are expecting some celebrity support. Watch this space for further details but for starters Scottish rugby stars will be taking part in the walk. There will also be a great Scottish themed raffle taking place after the walk.

Make a Day of it – the Scottish Way

The build-up to the walk starts at 11am with a foot-stomping ceilidh to get you warmed up. The Walk will start at 12pm, and should take a maximum of one hour to complete. Every participant will receive an event t-shirt and a scottish-themed goodie bag.

Don’t have a kilt? You can still take part by wearing anything tartan, the kilt walk t-shirt, or even a see you jimmy hat. Tartan sashes will also be available for you to wear on the day.

There’s a host of entertainment planned at the Ross Theatre, featuring Scottish bands Imelsa, the Commotion Women Drummers and Cantara. There will also be family-themed entertainment throughout the day, including a performance by the Edinburgh Postal Pipe Band, face-painting and a competition for the best tartan-clad walker.
