Scotland's Union Canal

Exploring Scotland's Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal (The Union Canal) between Falkirk and Edinburgh in the spring of 2022. History mixed with footage of how the 200 year old canal looks 20 years after its restoration.

Thank you for this interesting and beautiful video! I returned home to Norway a few days ago after having spent some days with a friend walking the towpaths of the whole of Union Canal and the Forth & Clyde Canal from Lochrin Basin to Bowling. We also took a detour to see the Kelpies. A fantastic walk with beautiful scenery and a lot of history. Lovely to recognize this in the video 😊

It was a beautiful and quiet waterway. Thouroughly enjoyed it.

[@petercurrell9344]

It did it a few years ago from the wonderful wheels which starts off by moving sideways, strange feeling in a lift to the amazing tunnel and impressive aquaducts especially thenew one over 6 lane moterway.

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

The whole canal is rather under appreciated - now I want to explore the Forth and Clyde.

Lovely video Andy, who's the bearded bloke steering the boat I wonder!

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

Dunno - some wierdo I picked up about 30 years ago and cant seem to shake him off....

Hi Andy, what a great insight to the Union canal, well presented as usual. The Black Country wording on your hoodie is brilliant!

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

I don't think they got the joke up there!

[@davidjones8680]

[@johnwilliams2646]

Thank you Andy, another great video.

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

Thanks.

Hello Andy, I really appreciated this video. As always, the history is fascinating, and the drone videos across the aqueducts were mesmerizing. The 1904 Icicle picture was funny. I am so glad that people took the time to restore this canal!

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

Its something of a gem - sadly under visited.

[@davidthomas6859]

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

The wheel is the icing on the cake for this canal

[@dennyporter2447]

[@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms]

Why don't you give teleprompter a go? - a fantastic app that allows you to recite text directly from your phone whilst utilising the video camera

[@terryrigden4860]

Very interesting, we must go there sometime

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

Do -well worth the trip.

[@geoffreynolds8835]

Nice to hear about the history. Like the "Black Country" hoody 👍.

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

It had to be worn Geoff!

[@misterjib]

it's bostin that hoody slogan ay it

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

It just had to be worn.

This canal used to be crystal clear with lots of wildlife and fish but now due to these barges it is now a disgusting brown mess. These people that use barges are disspicable.

[@lifeat2.3milesanhour57]

No boats = no canal I am afraid.
