A panorama of the Union Canal at Wester Hailes taken from a road bridge built in the millenium year (MM). At this point it is possibly a dual carriage way for there is a long white line in the middle of the road.Below and beyond the bridge the canal and its towpath curve. The bank is grassed.Towards the horizon a pedestrian bridge can be glimpsed. On the horizon on the right are medium rised flats. On the opposite bank a distinctive building hugs the bend in the waterway.There are further low rise buildings behind it.

The Union Canal at Wester Hailes reopened on Saturday 25 August 2001, allowing water passage to central Edinburgh. The original canal was closed over in the late 1960s as new housing was developed in the area. Millennium funding allowed a new canal to be dug out. New bridges and walk ways were built and sculptures commissioned. The canal is now enjoyed by rowers and passengers of barges while the path is a peaceful walk or cycle to and from Edinburgh.
