About Us

SPTA was conceived round about 40 years ago by several foot soldiers who have lately followed the National team courtesy of the HEBRIDES bar in Edinburgh. We still use the facilities and transport arrangements of the HEBTA and are very grateful for the privilege. The name of the club speaks for itself although not all of the members are single or parent’s but, to advance to committee status it is beneficial. The SPTA are amalgamated with the FPA (Forth Ports Hillwalking Club ).
The hard core of the club regularly find themselves immersed in drink around the many seedy and sometimes more intellectual parts of Europe and beyond.
