A series of focus group meetings followed with local and community councillors, the canal community user groups and stakeholder bodies such as SEPA and Sustrans, to discuss the Union Canal, which led to the to preparation of an Edinburgh Canal Strategy Consultation Document in September 2010. The Consultation Document set out a number of questions, the aim of which was to discuss how to make the Union Canal into a recognisable place whilst identifying issues to be taken forward in the resultant Draft Canal Strategy. Between October and December 2010 a number of consultation events were held to discuss the questions set out within the Consultation Document. The key aim of the consultation exercise was to explore the opportunities and issues with a range of stakeholders whilst promoting community involvement in the current and future use of the Union Canal. In May 2011, the draft Edinburgh Canal Strategy was prepared for public consultation. The draft Strategy set out a series of opportunities for development and a hub strategy around which development could be based. Between June and August, a number of further public consultation events were held, including at the annual Edinburgh Canal Festival, the aim of which was to: • develop further ideas on how to improve the use of the canal as an asset of the city through the ‘opportunities’ outlined within the Strategy • identify whether consultees agree/disagree with the proposed ‘Hub Strategy’ and consider the hubs in are the right place and have the right objectives; • gather views on increasing the use of the water space along the canal, canal-side development proposals, and access points and, • To consider whether anything was missing from the Strategy or should be removed. Following the consultation, this fi nal Edinburgh Union Canal Strategy has now been prepared. The Strategy and its accompanying Delivery Plan now set out policies and proposals which aim to make the Union Canal into a successful and recognisable place. 4 December 2011 City of Edinburgh Council City Development The Edinburgh Union Canal Strategy Key Aims and Objectives T he Key Aims and Objectives of the Edinburgh Union Canal Strategy are to: • Set out the aspirations of the Council, British Waterways (Scotland), and other partner organisations in relation to the Union Canal within the Edinburgh boundary and in relation to the wider canal network; • Identify and set out the key heritage, community and environmental considerations as a basis for the future protection of the Canal as it develops; • Ensure that there is a balance between the creation and stimulation of a lively canal culture and increased use of the canal towpath and waterspace, as well as protecting the environment in terms of wildlife and biodiversity as well as existing communities; • Present opportunities for development along the length of the Union Canal within the Edinburgh boundary and the creation of 7 canal hubs; • Establish clear planning and environmental policies and guidance for developing beside or on the canal; and, • Set out a Delivery Plan for the future development of the canal. k uk co h rgh co db edinbu f otosof h www ph hhie t Ritc © Grant Ritchie - www.photosofedinburgh.co.uk © Grant ©Gran e BBarg Canal Barge Canal ClClCanal City of Edinburgh Council City Development December 2011 5 www.photosofedinburgh.co.uk Lochrin Basin © Grant Ritchie www.photosofedinburgh.co.uk The Edinburgh Union Canal Strategy Current Context City of Edinburgh Council City Development December 2011 7 The Edinburgh Union Canal Strategy Current Context Scotland’s Canals Scotland’s canal network is over 200 years old and travels for 137 miles from Loch Ness in the north to Fort William and Glasgow in the west, via Falkirk to Edinburgh in the East. The Scottish canal network is a national and international asset, not just for its recreational value, but as for its important industrial heritage. The Scottish canal network is made up of 5 canals, in the Highlands - the Caledonian and the Crinan, and in the Lowlands - the Monkland, the Forth and Clyde and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union, known more simply as The Union Canal. The Union Canal In Edinburgh The Union Canal in Edinburgh runs for 16km between and through the communities of Ratho, Wester Hailes, Longstone, Craiglockhart, Merchiston, Polwarth and Tollcross, terminating at Fountainbridge in the city centre. The canal also passes Harrison Park, Meggetland and Hailes Park, and crosses over the Water of Leith via the 180m long Slateford Aqueduct. The Union Canal is not just a heritage asset for Edinburgh, but also a navigable waterway for boating, an important wildlife habitat, a walking, jogging and cycling route, and a focus for new canal side development and for local community use. City of Edinburgh Council City Development December 2011 9 The Edinburgh Union Canal Strategy Current Context History and Heritage he Union Canal, the last of Scotland’s major canals, was a commercial venture begun in 1818 and completed in T 1822. It was built principally as a means of importing coal and lime into Edinburgh, and ran from Port Hopetoun in Edinburgh to join the Forth & Clyde Canal at Camelon, Stirlingshire.

The camp is sometimes visible in aerial photographs, but cannot be seen on the ground today. To the north, along Tamfourhill Road is the best-preserved section of Antonine Wall Ditch and the site of a Roman fortlet on the grounds of Watling Lodge.

Thanks also to the determiners, especially those who specialise in difficult plant groups. I am indebted to David McCosh and George Ballantyne for advice and updates on Hieracium and Rubus fruticosus microspecies, respectively, and to Chris Metherell for determinations of Euphrasia species. Chris also gave guidelines and an initial template for the Register, which I have customised for Midlothian.

Summary Scotland’s network of canal towpaths is extensively used for different forms of active travel eg walking, jogging / running and cycling. This is for leisure purposes and for commuting trips. This paper will consider the health benefits generated by use of Scotland’s canal towpaths in terms of increased physical activity; absenteeism; air quality; and road safety. Based on an extensive survey of canal users, this paper, using new and innovative techniques will set out how Scotland’s canals contribute almost £7 million of additional public health benefits per annum.
