Great Global Greyhound Walk — Edinburgh

A friendly, low-key meetup for sighthound owners rather than a competitive show — good if you want your dog to have a proper walk in company and you fancy chatting to other owners who get exactly why greyhounds are like this.

Part of a genuinely worldwide event, with dozens of countries registering their own local walks the same day — Edinburgh's is trying to beat last year's turnout of 107 hounds.
