Eastern Routes.
  Ride up  the Falkirk Wheel to reach the  the Union Canal, which is lock free throughout its entire length. This will  take you into the heart of Edinburgh.Through the 690yrd Falkirk Tunnel and over Avon and Almond queducts. For the shopaholics aboard Princes Street, the main shopping thoroughfare, and Edinburgh Castle are within easy walking distance of the canal basin. . You will also go through the ancient burgh of Linlithgow. Here you can visit the palace and loch, stock up with water and fresh supplies, and eat in one of the many local restaurants.

The Falkirk WheelFalkirk Wheel 

The Falkirk wheel is a modern innovation that could be viewed as both mobile sculture and practical boat lift, it is cetainly one of the most dramatic features of the inland Waterways to be aded in recent times.

It replaces a long since vanished flight of locks andenables continuity between the union canal and the Forth and Clyde.

 

Western Routes

 

Heading west will take you to Glasgow and even down to the coast at Bowling on the Clyde. A Forth and Clyde canal boating holiday can be aunique experience never to be forgotten with the strech between Falkirk and Kirkintilloch usually regarded asone of the most attractive stretches of the Scottish Lowland Canals .
