Linlithgow Union Canal Society will take centre-stage in this year’s celebration of the Union Canal’s 200th anniversary, with canal challenges, local festivals, floating gardens, and even flotillas drifting down West Lothian waterways.
The events will be delivered by Scottish Canals with the Scottish Waterways for All, local authorities, community groups, economic development bodies, and tourism groups.
Part of the celebrations will see a flotilla with hundreds of canal-boats take to the Union Canal in May, stopping off at key points to celebrate with the local community; planned stopping points so far are Linlithgow, Livingston, and the Falkirk Wheel.
