Union Canal: Temporary Boating Disruption, Ratho

Please be advised that there will be a brief disruption to boating on the Union Canal at Ratho, Edinburgh on Monday 18 August and Tuesday 19 August. This is to allow our contractors, Mackenzie Construction, to safely recover a sunken vessel from the canal.

To carry out the recovery, divers will be working in the water throughout the day. For safety reasons, boat movements will be temporarily restricted during this time.

A member of Scottish Canals staff will be on site to support boaters and help manage safe passage when conditions allow.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work.
