Paisley now among six legal walks to take place in Scotland this year
Reading time: 2 minutes
Lawyers in six Scottish cities and towns will take part in “legal walks” in support of access to justice this autumn, including for the first time in Paisley.
The Scotland committee of the UK-wide Access to Justice Foundation (ATJF) organises the legal walks to promote access to justice and to help raise funds for local legal advice charities.
Over £1 million has been raised to date for charities including the Scottish Child Law Centre, Govan Law Centre, Clan Childlaw, Castlemilk Law and Money Advice Centre, JustRight Scotland, the Legal Services Agency and the Ethnic Minorities Law Centre.
“We are delighted to have added an inaugural Paisley legal walk and now have six super Scottish legal walks confirmed this autumn in Falkirk, Paisley, Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and Aberdeen,” Scotland committee chair Graeme McWilliams told Scottish Legal News.
“The intended legal walk in Paisley will start off outside Paisley Sheriff Court and pass the statue of Mrs May Donoghue, who was a party to the famous 1932 House of Lords delict case decision in Donoghue v Stevenson, which all started off with a snail in a bottle of ginger beer at the Wellmeadow Café in Paisley in 1928.”
The legal walks will take place on the following dates:
- Falkirk – Sunday 21 September 2025
- Paisley – Tuesday 23 September 2025
- Glasgow – Wednesday 24 September 2025
- Dundee – Tuesday 30 September 2025
- Edinburgh – Wednesday 1 October 2025
- Aberdeen – Wednesday 8 October 2025
