Holiday Barges In Forth & Clyde and Union Canals
Enjoy the perfect blend of urban pleasures and rural tranquillity as you discover the delights of a canal boat holiday in Lowland Scotland. Here you can cruise gently through peaceful countryside, marvelling at magnificent feats of engineering unfolding before your eyes as you cross spectacular aqueducts, and negotiate an exciting series of locks and the famous Falkirk Wheel, an amazing rotating boat lift and one of the wonders of the world, which now links the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Union Canal.
Crossing from east coast to west coast, from Edinburgh to Glasgow, the Forth & Clyde and Union canals offer a unique boating holiday experience. There's little cruising traffic to worry about – just you, the water and the abundant birdlife. Stop at one of many waterside pubs and restaurants along your route, and enjoy a true Scottish welcome.
From the base at Falkirk, a canal boat cruise to Glasgow follows a route with a rich mix of industry, old and new, as well as stunning views of the Clyde, and, on reaching the city, you'll find fascinating art galleries and museums, great restaurants and lively clubs and, of course, extensive shopping opportunities.
Canal boats heading east to Edinburgh, via the Falkirk Wheel and new Rough Castle Tunnel, cruise through open countryside with views across the Firth of Forth. Beecraigs Country Park and the beautifully preserved remains of Linlithgow Palace are within easy reach of the waterway, and Edinburgh itself is a stunningly lovely, compact city packed with history and attractions.
