A big thank you to SustransCymru who have recommended the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals as one of the best traffic free cycle routes in the UK! If you are pedaling the towpaths please remember these are shared spaces and walkers have right of way 🚴‍♀️ bit.ly/2QqeKfv

Community Moorings Scotland is here to create amazing places for boats and people on the canals of Scotland. Please follow for stories from Scotland’s canals and the people that live, work and play here.

If you’re a boater or live, work, walk or use the canals for any reason, please send us your pictures, videos, stories, we love to share them.

Delighted to welcome this year’s first ducklings to the Union canal near Linlithgow. 🐥

We hope our first site is going to be at Narrowboat Farm just outside Linlithgow. Just working on the details with our partners and neighbours.

There is no greater way to celebrate a birthday than sharing the exciting news that both The Kelpies and The The Falkirk Wheel are featured on the new Bank of Scotland News £50 note! Find out more about the new £50 design here: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

We are committed to looking after the beautiful canal landscape in which we live, keeping the canals healthy and vibrant for everyone to enjoy. #earthday #itsearthdayeveryday

TODAY - Native Medicinal Plant Safari. Learn how to recognise at least 12 native plants used to treat migraines, headaches, weak hearts, cuts and more. Starting with a short tour of the woodland garden at NBF, then across the bridge to the canal towpath & back to NBF.

Community Moorings Scotland Great wee walk. Learned a lot and met some lovely folk. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning.

Lots of great wee businesses operate from Scotland’s Canals. Grab a coffee from a narrowboat on Lochrin Basin at the west end of the Union Canal in Edinburgh. #narrowboatlife #scotlandscanals #unioncanaledinburgh

Community Moorings Scotland Marsh woundwort. It's used to help heal wounds quicker. I think it's also good for muscular pain and a sedative too. It's also very pretty.

We hope to be able to publish details of our very first CMS site at Narrowboat Farm very soon. NBF is a lovely site, east of Linlithgow, operating throughout the year as a market garden. From the 23rd October pumpkins will be available in time for Halloween! 🎃
