Our plan is to go to edinburgh and spend a few days there when we arrive and then just make our way back. We plan to stay in glasgow a few days also after we are done the cruise. We like to take our time and sightsee along the way. Take some time to explore edinburgh and surroundings before making our way back to Falkirk. So we are just looking for info and opinions on the Union.

Thanks for the info on weather. We were able to download the skippers guide also which should be helpful. Very excited about this trip. Hope we can make it happen next year.

Thanks Lampyrichard. Very good information. What us the weather like middle to end of May. That is when we were thinking of going.

After doing the Langollen last year we are looking at doing Falkirk to Edinburgh next year. Can't seem to find a detailed guide like we could for Langollen, what we have seen suggests that it is hard to find moorings along the union canal and in edinburgh. Canals appear to be overgrown and in disrepair. Locks are handled by volunteers and I believe require advance notice to pass. However there seems to be a lot of wonderful things to see along the way and I would love to spend a couple of days in edinburgh. Is this canal trip worth the while. Would love to hear from anyone who has done this route, anything good or bad would be aporeciated. Thanks
