•Come and visit the Linlithgow Canal Centre.
•We’re on the Union Canal in Linlithgow, centrally based in the town (18 miles from Edinburgh) birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots.
•The Edinburgh & Glasgow Union Canal is 31½ miles [50 km] long from Edinburgh to Falkirk and is linked to the Forth & Clyde Canal at Falkirk by the new Falkirk Wheel to continue the journey to Glasgow.
•The Canal Centre
is administered by Linlithgow Union Canal Society (LUCS), by volunteer society members, and operates boat trips from Manse Road Basin every weekend from Easter until the end of September with two boats from 2pm.
•We also have our lovely tea room to come visit too, open to anyone with an offering of tea, coffee, cake & ice cream in the summer. To sit in or takeaway.
•During July to mid-August, the Centre is open weekdays for the town trips running.
•You can cruise the calm and peaceful canal to the Avon Aqueduct in comfort on board the "St Michael" or journey the town stretch on "Victoria", a replica of a Victorian steam packet boat.
•Charters and private bookings can be arranged at other times. ‘Leamington’ is a self drive boat available for day hire and the larger 40 seater boats can also be chartered for larger parties (2 of our volunteers, driver & crew).
•The Canal Museum has a sales counter with a short audio-visual presentation. Thank you & we look forward to seeing you :)
