edmesh has organised a three hour boat trip gently gliding along the Union Canal, a unique wildlife corridor connecting the heart of Edinburgh with the outlying countryside. You’ll even get a chance to steer the boat if you wish!

The boat is a warm and cosy space with fully fitted kitchen, toilet and central heating, and edmesh have the exclusive use of the boat for the trip - although there will be a skipper and crew! There will be a prize for the best photo taken on the day, which will be published in the next newsletter. So bring your camera!

The trip is run by Re-Union Canal Boats - see their website at http://www.re-union.org.uk/

How to find Re-Union:

Edinburgh Quay can be accessed at the junction of Fountainbridge and Gardner’s Crescent through a pedestrian walkway next to the Cargo Bar.

Re-Union’s boat is the purple boat - you can’t miss it.

By Bus: Lothian Buses 1, 2, 34 and 35 all stop at Fountainbridge.

By Car: There is a Britannia car park underneath the office complex at Edinburgh Quay; charges apply. There is limited pay and display parking in the area.
