Maintaining and developing the canals

As well as the management and development of five Scottish canals, we care for bridges, buildings, locks, The Falkirk Wheel, The Kelpies and 19 water supply reservoirs in locations across Scotland. We work across a range of projects covering a range of different initiatives to improve safety, develop new spaces, innovation and engage with our communities.
