SPRF Annual Guided Walk Programme
The 2019 Guided Walk Programme is now confirmed and interested persons can now register to come on all or any of
the walks. These guide walks tend to be half day walks and feature sections of SPRF's priority pilgrim routes. This year we are
also featuring a full day charity walk connected with St Cuthbert.
The first guided walk is on Thursday 11th April on the Three Saints Way so we hope for a strong turnout for this
event which is open to all members and interested persons.
For details on all of the walk programme and instructions on registering click on THIS LINK.
The "Scottish Pilgrim Routes Forum" (SPRF) was established in February 2012 following a meeting of interested
persons and organisations held at Culross Abbey. This follows a period over 2 to 3 years of seminars and meetings
where ecumenical church groups and individuals, Scottish Parliamentarians, SNH, Visit Scotland and walking enthusiasts,
to mention but some, have been looking at the potential for growth and development in "Faith Tourism" and Pilgrimage
routes.
Since its establishment its membership and influence has expanded and by 2014 SPRF became a Scottish Charitable
Incorported Organisation (SCIO).
This SCIO aims to be a focal point for discussion and development of Pilgrim Routes within Scotland.
