Biggar Adventure delivers a range of outdoor experiences across Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. Specialising in canoe trips, archery sessions, climbing at Blackford Quarry and team-focused raft building, the operator lists sessions that suit families, groups and outdoor enthusiasts.
Trips take place at multiple sites named in individual experiences, including Blackford Quarry (Edinburgh), Broughton Primary School, St Mary's Loch (near Peebles), Yair Bridge, Peebles, Stobo, Innerleithen, Biggar and Melrose. Session lengths vary by experience — from a 90-minute archery session to 1.5-hour loch paddles and full-day River Tweed journeys of 5–6 hours — and many summaries note practical kit suggestions such as waterproofs, snacks and a change of clothes.
Biggar Adventure lists canoe hire alongside guided canoe routes and social paddles, including short trips between Peebles and Innerleithen and longer 22 km River Tweed day trips. Climbing sessions at Blackford Quarry finish with an abseil, while archery options include school-field sessions suitable for young participants aged 8 and up. Raft building is presented as a collaborative, hands-on challenge that tests creativity and teamwork.
Information provided in each trip summary highlights meeting locations, approximate durations and recommended kit. Prospective participants can review individual experience details and booking information where the trips are advertised.
