Canal reflections, The Falkirk Wheel looking stunning & peaceful after the storm. The tidy up is happening at pace across Scottish Canals, but its a big job, 139 trees down! #StormEowyn


A Year of The Beithir! 🥳 Bella the Beithir, created by Nichol Wheatley, was unveiled in Stockingfield Art Park one year ago today! 🐍 Share your Beithir selfies with us! 📸💙 WeMakeitGlasgow Sustrans Scotland Mackenzie Construction


We were delighted to host Falkirk West MSP Michael Matheson to meet with our talented finance modern apprentices, Amelia Grant and Lewis Glenfield, at The Falkirk Wheel yesterday as part of Scottish Apprenticeship Week. 🚀 #ScotAppWeek25 Michael Matheson MSP Skills Development Scotland

Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending the launch of 'Fired-Up' at WeMakeitGlasgow's Art Bothy at Stockingfield Art Park in North Glasgow. 'Fired-Up' will be open to the public from 10am to 4pm on the 29th and 30th of March. #StockingfieldArtPark #NorthGlasgow #FiredUp


Brillant to visit the amazing WeMakeitGlasgow pop up #ArtBothy today. An inspired idea to engage the community & give an opportunity to see how great it would be for #Glasgow to have a #CeramicPotteryMuseum in #Maryhill. Highlight our history but creating our shared future.


We're excited to announce £3.7m investment to support traditional skills in Scotland. Thanks to #NationalLottery players The National Lottery Heritage Fund is supporting Scottish Canals to develop a new centre of excellence with Historic Environment Scotland heritagefund.org.uk/projects/lock-…

Culture Secretary Angus Robertson supported the launch of Scotland’s Centre of Excellence for Canals and Traditional Skills. Funded by £3.7m from The National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland, the Centre will train apprentices in skills such as stonemasonry; the trade of @angusrobertson's ancestors.


Brilliant day celebrating 50 years of volunteering Linlithgow Canal Centre, so many heros of the campaign to save the #UnionCanal & the #MillenniumLink as well as the #regeneration work over the last 25 years. Thanks to the team for an amazing day. Memories & plans for the future.




We were delighted to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of the Linlithgow Union Canal Society last week. 🎉 Congratulations Linlithgow Canal Centre on this incredible achievement, and thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers who help to care for our canal network. 💙 Richard Millar
