Hide AdBookings are not necessary as the walks are open to all and leave from the entrance to Kinneil Museum (itself open free daily, except Tuesdays, from 12.30-4pm).
Tours of the property will last around an hour and focus on the history and heritage of Kinneil House and Estate.
Ian Shearer, chairman of the Friends of Kinneil, said: “We are so much looking forward to hosting visitors to Kinneil again and telling them about its outstanding 2000-year history.
“Visitors have been missing the popular Kinneil tours and everyone here has also been missing all the visitors from home and abroad.

“We have decided to welcome visitors on this regular new Saturday afternoon outdoor tour by our volunteer guides – around the outside of Kinneil House and Kirk due to the ongoing restrictions.
“Please visit our website and check social media for full information and updates on the tours.”
