The course fee includes a year's membership of Forth Canoe Club valid through the club year ending 28 February 2026. Once your child has attended their course and shown that they can capsize and re-enter their craft safely, they are welcome to participate, under supervision of a parent/guardian, in our club night activities Thursday evenings April-October.

The course has 5 sessions on consecutive days from Monday to Friday. Each session is 2 hours:

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
