Running from Edinburgh Quay to meet the Forth & Clyde Canal at Falkirk, key landmarks along the route include the Avon, Almond and Slateford aqueducts and the Falkirk Wheel, the world’s first rotating boat lift.
Union Canal
Originally built to transport coal, today the Union Canal is a more peaceful location, open for visitors to sail, cycle or walk along the 30 mile route. In 2022, the Union Canal was the hub of EAF's Festival-led programme.
