Linlithgow Canal Centre

The Linlithgow Canal, part of the Union Canal in Scotland, runs through the historic town of Linlithgow and was opened in 1822 to connect Edinburgh with the Forth & Clyde Canal. It is a 31.5-mile (50.7 km) canal built to transport coal and other goods but is now primarily used for leisure and tourism. The canal is home to the Linlithgow Union Canal Society, which operates boat trips and maintains the Linlithgow Canal Centre. Notably, the Union Canal is a contour canal, meaning it follows the 240 ft (73 m) contour without locks along its entire length until it meets the Falkirk Wheel.
