We are #throwingback to #Flotilla200, which celebrated the 200th anniversary of The Union Canal. Great to see the local communities coming together to enjoy the canal towpaths by paddle, boot and wheel, not to mention the beautiful boats! #canalmagic

It is getting a bit chilly out there.❄️ The canals make for some beautiful winter wanders, please be #CanalCareful when enjoying the towpaths this season, as frost can make some surfaces slippery & be sure to wrap up warm. 🧣 @RoSPAScotland @WaterSafetyScot
