Fountainbridge is an area in the south-west of central Edinburgh, to the west of Tollcross. The area is centred around the western section of a road also called Fountainbridge. The Union Canal now begins in this area having originally extended a little further east.
The Union Canal was opened in 1822. It ran from Tollcross in Edinburgh to meet the Forth and Clyde Canal at Falkirk, thus linking the capital to Glasgow. After extensive renovation in the 1990's the Canal is now a popular area for recreation, with non-commercial craft using the waterway and many cyclists, walkers and runners using the towpath.
