Description
The Pride of the Union canal barge moored alongside the Bridge Inn, Ratho (now also known as the Edinburgh Canal Centre).
On the 3rd of March 1818, the first ground was broken marking the beginning of the construction of the Union Canal. The canal, which navigates from the centre of Edinburgh to The Falkirk Wheel where it joins with the Forth & Clyde Canal, was designed by the engineer Hugh Baird, and supported by the great Scottish engineer Thomas Telford.
