This is a page from the book 'Origin, nomenclature and location of various houses and streets in Edinburgh' by John Smith.

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.
