  • FORTH, CLYDE and UNION CANALS Notes on Multi-Use Access
    FORTH, CLYDE AND UNION CANALS Notes on multi-use access The Forth and Clyde Canal stretches 35 miles between Bowling, on the Clyde west of Glasgow, and the Forth estuary east of Falkirk, linking directly via the Union Canal to Edinburgh. Walkers and cyclists may now be a more common sight than the horses for whom the towpaths were originally created, and riding a horse alongside the canal may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act, horse-riders enjoy equal access rights to other non-motorised access takers. Most of the former barriers along the towpath have been removed or modified to allow multi-use access, although there are a few places where the passable width is very narrow, or where steps have been installed to divert around obstructions in the line of the towpath may not be passable with a horse. These notes have been produced by British Horse Society Scotland to help identify location and brief details of features which may influence multi-use of the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals. The notes are intended to supplement information already available from other sources, including detailed route guides, http://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/our-canals/forth-- clyde-canal and other relevant websites. The background information for these notes was provided by volunteers who surveyed the route in 2014 as part of a multi-use long distance route audit funded by Scottish Natural Heritage. BHS will endeavour to update notes as and when notification of subsequent changes is received, but cannot guarantee accessibility or the accuracy of information provided.

Miranda Krestovnikoff “Reports like these tend to be about the numbers – and this one won’t disappoint! – but our precious canals and rivers cannot be captured in a spreadsheet. They are more than the bridges, the locks, the channels and aqueducts – vital as they are. They are more than the water, and the boats and wildlife that depend on it. “They are about people. “ What the Trust does is important not simply because it conserves precious spaces, but because these spaces are special for everyone who experiences them. Space to escape, to find solace, to have fun, to reclaim our childlike sense of wonder. We are just the latest generation of individuals adding our stories to those that have gone before us. We want these stories to inspire and be retold by the people who come after us. “That is quite a challenge. It is why we need the Canal & River Trust.” – Miranda Krestovnikoff, Wildlife expert & broadcaster Open the fold-out to discover some highlights of our story so far 4 Trustees’ Report & Accounts June: David Suchet, Timothy West, August: London John Craven, Miranda Krestovnikoff to Brussels cycle and Paul Atterbury announced as our ride raises nearly first Friends.

  • View the Living on Water Pilot Evaluation Report
    ‘Living on Water’ Pilot Evaluation December 2013 1. Introduction Scottish Canals published a Draft Waterspace Strategy for public consultation in February 2012. Within this publication, we set out our ambitions to develop greater vibrancy on the water beginning by encouraging more people to live or operate a business afloat on the waterways. We began by describing how both residential and commercial markets had developed slowly over the years without proactive marketing. At that point, we had 25 residential moorings, all of which were located on the Lowland canals. We also had a healthy number of hire and passenger boats, charities, social enterprises and canal societies operating across Scotland, but knew there to be much potential for new commercial operators, on the Lowland canals in particular. Next, we set out our rationale for developing these markets, outlining the public benefits to be gained by creating vibrant new residential and commercial communities on the water. These included: o the creation of safe and welcoming locations which would, in turn, attract more visitors to the towpaths o being able to offer a competitive and attractive alternative for housing and meet the interest in „living by the water‟ o providing income for the local economy by attracting new residents and increased visitors spending in nearby amenities and services o creating new opportunities for commercial enterprises, some of which would provide new services and amenities for the local community and visitors to the towpath 1 o creating a dynamic waterspace which is attractive to potential partners, investors and tourists o the generation of income which can be reinvested in the canals helping to sustain this historic and environmental resource o giving the canals a strong sense of purpose and encouraging civic ownership We stressed that these markets would complement existing users already at the heart of the waterspace such as leisure boats, rowers and canoeists.
