Welcome to the
Monklands Ramblers
We are one of the longest running R.A. clubs in Scotland, and the first Scottish R.A. club on the Internet!
We are based in the Monklands area of Central Scotland in North Lanarkshire, some 12 miles east of Glasgow.

Wednesday, 24 March 2021
Monklands Ramblers group are restarting walks in line with advice from Ramblers Scotland. Due to restrictions, we are limiting the numbers per walk to 10 walkers, plus leader, which means walkers will have to book their place by text. (See details below)
We are still not permitted to car share or use coaches, so the walks will be within the local area. Walkers should carry a face covering and hand sanitiser with them.
