Living Streets Scotland

We are Living Streets Scotland, part of the UK charity for everyday walking.

We want to create a nation where walking and wheeling is the natural choice for everyday, local journeys.

We deliver our walk to school programme across Scotland, enabling and encouraging more children to walk to school. Our work with communities empowers groups to deliver improvements to their walking environment so they can enjoy vibrant streets and public spaces. And our campaigning on issues such as footway parking and 20mph speed limits helps to create safer and more welcoming streets.
