    Good

    If you are looking for an alternative access point to the canal in Linlithgow ( canal basin parking in the town can be very busy ) try the leisure centre car park. At the south end there is a zig zag ramp up to the canal tow path. Turn left to head towards the town and canal basin or turn right to head towards the aquaduct.
