Beginning right in the heart of Edinburgh and going all the way to Falkirk, the Union Canal provides the perfect setting for enjoying a range of countryside activities without ever having to leave the city. Walk or cycle along the towpath, have a go at rowing or kayaking, find a spot for fishing, or even hire a barge to cruise along the canal in style. Once you head back towards Edinburgh Quay, savour a well-deserved drink in Akva’s beer garden which overlooks the canal.
