Union Canal

Mags and Alien Wally have lived in Edinburgh for over a year, but clearly still have a lot to discover. Alien Wally had no idea that the Union Canal reached so far into the city. Snaking over and under roads and railways, at one point it crosses 18 metres above the Water of Leith. Alien Wally cycled down to the canal today to check it out. He now declares the canal's towpath his favourite cycling route; in no way influenced by the flatness inherent in the canal's design.
