Welcome

Welcome to the home of Perth & District Ramblers. We are the local group for the Ramblers' Association, and are part of the Forth Valley, Fife & Tayside Area of the Ramblers which has 15 local groups. Perth & District Group covers Perth and it's surrounding area, including Crieff.

Walks Programme

We have led walks most weekends, these are arranged up to 6 months ahead and a programme of walks is sent to members twice a year, the programme includes walks arranged by all the groups in the area giving a wide range of walks to choose from. All walks are also available on the Walksfinder section of the Ramblers' web site.

Walks

We have a wide range of walks throughout the year, ranging from 6 miles level walking to some of the local Munros in the summer. A typical winter walk is about 7 miles with some gentle to moderate climbing and always the possibility of plenty of mud! In summer a typical walk tends to be longer with some having more severe climbs and cross-country walking.

Joining the Ramblers

You can join on-line via the Ramblers' web site, where more details on the benefits are available or click on the link to the right to contact Perth Ramblers ( this is run by volunteers and a reply may take some days).

Car Sharing

We encourage car sharing on all our walks and we have a regular meeting point in Perth, details are included with each walk. Passengers are encouraged to make a contribution to the driver's costs, as a guide 7.5p/mile is considered reasonable.

Perth Ramblers 25th Anniversary

Perth Ramblers celebrated their 25th anniversary with 2 celebratory walks on Saturday 27th June 2009, starting from Kinnoull Hill, Perth and an Anniversary Lunch at Murrayshall House Hotel on the Sunday 28th June. Over 40 people attended the walks, one of 6 miles and one of 10 miles and despite the rain the walks were enjoyed by all. Thanks to the leaders Lynn Rankin and Trevor Able.
Over 60 people attended the lunch on the Sunday and enjoyed an excellent lunch followed by a slide show of the last 25 years of Perth Ramblers. Thanks to Conrad Peat for the technical aspects of the computerised show and to Mary Anderson for gathering the photos and for an excellent and amusing commentary on the day.
