Carving through the Scottish Lowlands, the recently restored Forth & Clyde and Union canals are linked by the awesome Falkirk Wheel. It is from the basin below the wheel that your holiday begins, heading either through the Wheel and east to Edinburgh or travel West to Glasgow .
• A mobile phone is a must to pre-book passage through the locks and bridges, which are all manned by British Waterways Staff.
• Visit either city in a short break or both in a week.
If you prefer not to drive, budget airlines fly into either Edinburgh or Glasgow, with train or coach connections to Falkirk .
