Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Historic Waterway Hub
The Linlithgow Canal Basin sits at the heart of the Union Canal, a 19th-century engineering feat that once linked Edinburgh with the industrial heartland of central Scotland. Today the basin is home to the Linlithgow Union Canal Society, whose fleet of traditional narrowboats ties up along the stone quayside.
Boats and Towpath Life
Colorful self-drive hire boats and passenger trip boats share the basin with anglers and towpath walkers. The cobbled quay and iron railings frame a scene that has changed little since the canal's restoration, offering a genuine slice of inland waterway heritage.
Gateway to Linlithgow
A short walk from Linlithgow Palace and the town center, the basin is a popular starting point for canal cruises through the surrounding West Lothian countryside. The peaceful stretch of water, lined with grass banks and mature trees, draws boaters, birdwatchers, and visitors exploring Scotland's canal network.
