Scotland

In Scotland the 137-mile (220km) canal network, originally built between 1768 and 1822, includes the Caledonian, Crinan, Forth & Clyde, Union and Monkland canals. Although small in number, they are some of the most famous and historic in Great Britain . In recent years British Waterways Scotland has reversed years of neglect and revitalised Scotland's canals transforming them into important national assets. More and more Scots and visitors to Scotland are discovering that canals are the perfect way of exploring Scotland 's wonderful countryside.
