NEWS: Round the Forth Passport Scheme launches in time for summer
The Climate FORTH project has launched its ‘Round the Forth Passport’ activity this week, in time for the summer season. Visitors to, and locals within, the Inner Forth can explore all nine heritage sites featured in the passport booklet, collecting stamps as they go.
With locations including RSPB Black Devon Wetlands, Valleyfield Gardener’s Cottage, Blackness Bay Distillery and Dunimarle Castle and Gardens, there is something for all to enjoy. At each stop, there is a brass rubbing station to ‘stamp’ the booklet and the aim is to obtain all nine stamps.
Focusing on the more ‘hidden’ heritage gems of the area, the custom-designed passports include practice and stamping pages, activities and car-free adventure inspiration close to the sites.
Booklets can be picked up from approved distributors such as The Helix, Alloa Hub and Eats Hub in Rosyth. They can also be obtained by contacting the Climate FORTH team via email ([email protected])
To make the adventure greener and more sustainable, the car-free adventures include tips for using public transport, walking and cycling to and from each heritage attraction. Participants are encouraged to try and visit all locations, without automatically using the car, to reduce environmental impact.
Many of the sites can be reached using the project’s Inner Forth Bike Bus, which runs every Sunday until 27th September between Alloa and The Forth Bridges. Travel on the bus with your bike or as a walking passenger; booklets will be available on board for passengers to pick up, too.
As school holiday season approaches, the Round the Forth Passport is an ideal activity for families, friends and work colleagues looking for a day out with a difference. It is free to take part in, too, thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and it celebrates the variety and wealth of built and natural heritage within the Inner Forth.
Mirran Trimble, Business and Visitor Engagement officer for Climate FORTH said:
“We are delighted to see the passport come to life! This is a fun, unique and sustainable way for people to explore the fantastic heritage of the Inner Forth and we hope to see lots of people out collecting their stamps.
We challenge you to try and visit every site without using a car and remember to tag us in your adventures on Instagram and Facebook.”
This activity is one of many pilot schemes being trialled by Climate FORTH to make the Inner Forth more resilient to climate change
