Scottish Canals has now published its response to a public consultation setting out a long-term plan for establishing fair pricing for living and travelling on Scotland’s inland waterways.
We work to deliver the Scottish Government’s strategic objectives for public benefit - for everyone who lives, works or plays along the Scottish canals.
The Scottish canals are Scheduled Historic Monuments, and an important part of our history. We protect the waterways and conserve the natural and built heritage along the waterway corridors.
Scottish Canals attract around 26 million visits every year! There's a space for everyone, whether it's enjoying safe routes to work or school, fun family days outdoors, and scenic jogging and cycling paths.
We are transforming the Scottish canals through regeneration, working with partners in local businesses and communities to create vibrant waterway corridors.
The Scottish canals contribute to Scotland’s economy – through tourism, regeneration, creating jobs, construction projects and new social housing, and through innovative water management.
