Clackmannanshire Walking Festival
Clackmannanshire's first ever walking Festival was held on 18th - 22nd September 2008 and celebrated the county's magnificent scenery, heritage and wildlife by inviting people to join walk leaders on a variety of walks suitable for all ages and abilities.
Clackmannanshire Tourism Ltd, a not for profit organisation aimed at furthering tourism within the county, brought together a number of organisations and individuals to organise the exciting event.
Clackmannanshire boasts a dramatic landscape with flat carseland on the north bank of the River Forth and the dominant Ochil Hills. It also has a rich history - in the last three centuries the county has seen the rise and decline of many industries which have left their mark on the landscape. From ship building on the Forth to the mill towns of the Hillfoots there are many stories to tell.
Launch
To celebrate the launch of the Walking Festival, arrangements were made for the rangers, army, mountain rescue and Menstrie scouts to climb thirteen peaks along the Ochils on Wednesday 17th, the night before the festival to light flares.
