Edinburgh Queer Hiking

Join our Facebook group and support our fundraiser!

Edinburgh Queer Hiking promotes inclusivity and social justice through being in the outdoors and building a community of queer folks who enjoy hiking and nature. As a queer hiking group we want to make our hikes into a safe queer space inclusive of all people who fall across the spectrum of LGBTQIA+ identities.

About us

We meet twice a month for hikes in or near Edinburgh, one of which is a shorter access walk or introduction walk. All hikes are accessible by public transport, and we have a hiking equipment library to lend hiking shoes, trekking poles, and other kit to people who may lack the right gear to participate.

The group is not about about competition or fitness, but to create a friendly, inclusive space to meet new people and enjoy being outdoors while exploring new areas of Edinburgh/Scotland. People of all hiking abilities are welcome, and we organise hikes of different difficulties and lengths.

In addition to our main hikes, we also have regular weekday hikes organized by one of our volunteers. We are also offering quarterly hikes that are exclusively for our BIPOC members.
