Welcome to Esk Valley Trust

We welcome new members, returning members and all those interested in the Esk Valleys.

The catchment area of the River Esk, from source to sea, is the geographical area of our concern, interest and activity.

The river North Esk rises in the Pentland Hills above the North Esk Reservoir while the source of the river South Esk is beyond Gladhouse Reservoir in the Moorfoot Hills. Both rivers flow northeast through wooded valleys rich in wildlife, history, towns and villages, to their confluence at Waters’ Meet in Dalkeith Country Park.

As one river, The Esk then flows for a short distance through East Lothian where its banks form an attractive backdrop to the seaside town of Musselburgh situated at its mouth on the Firth of Forth.

The aims of the Trust are to sustain access through the Esk valleys and to care for their beauty, history and character.

We will keep you informed about activities that you can join as they occur - but keep an eye on our website (https://www.eskvalleytrust.org) and Facebook page ((Esk Valley Trust | Facebook) for news and other information.
