Rock On!

Rock on! A community walk featuring rocks at the edge of Edinburgh, to celebrate the Festival of Terminalia 2026

Sunday 22nd February, 2pm-4pm (there and back). Meeting (and ending) at the entrance to Wardie Bay. ///courier.palace.poem

Megmillar; Wardie Bush; rocks that are revealed when the tide goes out; Birnie Rocks; islands made of rock in the Firth of Forth; The Chesnut; rocks for stopping the sea coming closer; General’s Rocks; Hanging Craig; small rocks that we can use to represent our wishes – all of these will be part of our boundary walk at the edge of the land and the sea. We will make a cairn at the end to mark the boundary and you will receive a map of these rocks if you want one.

The walk will be on tarmac, so fine for wheels too, whether wheelchair or buggy.

Dogs are welcome.

The Festival of Terminalia is an annual event, a celebration of walking, space, place and psychogeography on and around 23rd February. It takes its name from Terminus, the Roman god of boundaries and landmarks.
