Union Canal
You would never know from this view that the canal is still in the burgh of Linlithgow. However from this point you can see how the canal follows the contours, passing above the level of the ground to the north.

From the slightly elevated vantage point of a pedestrian bridge that gives access to paths on both sides of the canal, it is apparent that the canal is passing through the suburbs, with modern housing developments to both north and south.
