Walkie Talkies
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but you and your dog can join us for a walk dedicated to exploring the science of dog behaviour and health with the Midlothian Dog Training Club and scientists from The Roslin Institute. Come along Sunday 7th from 11am-12:30pm.
Wild Science
Get close-up and hands-on with really wild scientists to discover more about the environment around us that we share with so many other living things. Find out all about busy bees, build your own bug and bird houses, collect and analyse soil and water samples for evidence of life and explore the science all around you with guided nature and geology walks.

The Lost Limestone Quarries of Lothian
A walk from Vogrie Country Park with a geologist from Edinburgh University shows that Midlothian was once the scene of lime production. The old quarries tell a tale of warm tropical seas from millions of years ago, as well as much more recent human efforts to improve soils for agriculture. There will be two walks in the day as part of Wild Science - one starting at 12:30 and the second at 14:30.
Vogrie Autumn Geocache
Geocache is the techno way to treasure hunt with GPS or phone in hand. There are over 2212 caches around Dalkeith alone and millions around all over the world. Come along and see how it happens, find the cache of the day and head off into the sunset to find caches. Drop-in on Sunday 7th from 1pm-4pm.
Campfire and Kelly Kettle
Join us in the woods and learn how to turn sparks in to flames and fires into cups of tea. We will be using our best bush craft skills to whistle up the Kelly kettle and toasting marshmallows to perfection! To book call 01875 821 716.
Minibeast Hunt
Get up close and personal with some super creepy crawlies! Join the Rangers on a minibeast hunt around Vogrie exploring different minibeast habitats and discovering where bugs like to lurk. To book call 01875 821 716.
