Spent a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon along at the Linlithgow Canal Centre earlier today ...
... was attending their Canal Fun Day and the famous 'cardboard boat race' was indeed very entertaining :-)

We enjoyed a fab boat trip at LUCS. Would recommend popping into the tea room and buying a bag of duck food…they are hilarious when there are snacks up for grab! @LUCS_Canal

Apologies - we are having a technical issue with our phone. Please email us [email protected] or message us on here if you are trying to contact us. Thank you!

[Dandelion @DandelionScot]

Off we go to @HelixFalkirk - home of The Kelpies where the floating garden will be in residence until September.

Want to come & see us?

We'll be ready and waiting to meet you from this Saturday when we'll also be hosting a Free For All (1 - 4pm)!

Came across this hydro turbine in a remote glen yesterday. Built to extract and sell energy from water flowing over the land. Unlike most wind turbines few of these contribute to a local community wealth fund. Food for thought.

[Dandelion @DandelionScot]

Our Floating Garden will reach the final stop of its tour in Edinburgh tonight before heading to @HelixFalkirk (home of @OfficialKelpies) to dock until Sept!

Edinburgh, this is your 1st chance to pick up free plants & hear our Flower Singer before our Free for All next weekend.

[Edinburgh Art Festival @edartfest]

🦆 Join us for the launch of @pesterandrossi's #edartfest commission for 2022 at 'Setting Sail' ⚓︎

It's been amazing to meet so many people along the canals. Tonight, we will be docking in Ratho from 5 -7pm before our last stop tomorrow in Edinburgh!

Come along for some free plants, growing advice, and music.
