Overview
This is a lovely walk with far reaching views across the countryside where you will be able to spot many familiar local landmarks.
Our route will take us along the tranquil canal where we may be lucky to spot some wildlife before crossing over the canal & heading up farm tracks to reach the highest point on the route. Here, we will pause to admire the views in all directions before continuing our journey across farmland to reach housing on the edge of Linlithgow. Our route is then downhill along pavement to reach the canal basin & a little further on, our start point where the walk will end.
Along the way we will discover some of Linlithgow's interesting history.
