Canal Basin

Surely one of the most pleasant places in which to linger in this lovely burgh - tranquil canal atmosphere and splendid views to the palace - bounded on the east by Bridge 43, to the south by the Canal Museum (c.1820 stables for the canal horses) and to the west by Canal House, c.1835, a standard three-bay villa (home of Hugh Baird, the canal engineer) distinguished by its round-arched door and splendidly sinuous fanlight. To the north the basin is bounded by Canal Cottages, c.1840 (built as the Union Canal Inn), which are split-level, one floor entered from the towpath, and the other from Canal Terrace (rather like the Colonies in Edinburgh). Restored by Gordon Duncan Somerville, c.1974. With the restoration of the canal to navigational condition, this quarter has a new vitality as walkers, cyclists and boats pass, and linger, on the route between Edinburgh and Falkirk.
