Did you know you can hire a rowing boat and sail down Edinburgh's Union Canal? 🚣♀️🌊
The @EdinburghUCS have rowing boats available to hire every Sunday from 2-5pm, until the end of September this year. Hire a boat, take a slow sail down the canal and see all the sights along the way - we couldn't think of a more peaceful afternoon activity!
