Title
Union Canal looking towards Leamington Lift Bridge and Edinburgh Quay
Description
A woman talks to a man at the edge of the canal as he fishes. On the other side of the canal are containers, orange fencing and steel structures of a construction site. A disused church is behind the worksite and is reflected in the water. At the far end of the canal is a metal lift bridge separating this stretch of water from the next.

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.
