Whitekirk Hill
2025-05-31
A friendly, local event in East Lothian
Whitekirk Hill is a relatively new area for orienteering and boasts a variety of rock and contour features on broadly open hillside with picturesque views over East Lothian.
The majority of the paths are mown strips through the grass though they appear to be more permanent and there are many informal paths around the former golf course.
Parking for the event is at the Whitekirk Hill resort and we’d encourage you to make use of the excellent cafe which is there.
