A day in Edinburgh We’re moored in the same place as last night at Ratho. But now we’re facing the opposite direction after visiting Edinburgh. We set off this morning went under the Leamington Lift Bridge at the entrance to the Basin in Edinburgh just before lunch. There were several wooden sculptures along the towpath towards Edinburgh, including this frog. This completed our journey along the full length of the Union Canal. Edinburgh was full of people. Not only did we pick a Saturday but it was also the Fringe Festival. At least it was warm and sunny. We returned to the boat mid afternoon and after clearing out some of Scotland’s best weeds from round the propeller we were ready to head out of Edinburgh. Alex, the ever helpful British Waterway’s Operative opened the lift bridge for us and we were on our way. Now we are planning out how to spend the rest of our time on the Lowland Canals. We need to return down the Falkirk Wheel and do the remaining part of the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Carron Basin before next Saturday. |
