We're sorry to share that, in the face of significant financial challenges, the Scottish Waterways Trust has sadly ceased to operate.

From 1 May 2019, our important canal college® and Canal Heritage activities have found a new home with @KSBScotland https://t.co/eTFXfoMs95

We had a great time working with the @PathSkillz team! 😀

Last day working with the Green Action volunteers from @ScotWaterways. They have been a fantastic group of young people and should be really proud of what they have achieved #troops #youngpeople #outdoorlearning

Cracking day for a #Nature walk for #wellbeing organised by @ScotWaterways. An amazing and incredibly important initiative of green health for local people. Thanks for having us! @GHealthHighland @RhonaHTSI @AndEngagement @InvernessCE #Highland

We couldn't be prouder of Angus - he started out as a #canalcollege participant & is now sharing his knowledge with our current canal college group & is protecting Scotland's historic canals for years to come as @scottishcanals' stonemason! What an achievement 😀

[Awards_Network @Awards_Network]

18, unemployed Angus joined @ScotWaterways #canalcollege project. This led to an apprenticeship. At 23, a stonemason with @scottishcanals, he shares his skills with others. The project uses SQA, @HHAwardScot #JohnMuirAwards @SaltireAwards to support employability #ScotAppWeek19
