We recently had the pleasure of hosting the Fountainbridge Canalside Community Trust's dementia-friendly walking group at Lochrin Basin in Edinburgh where we shared updates on our latest improvement projects and enjoyed a lovely walk along the Union Canal. Nick Bowen from RaeburnFarquharBowen Landscape Architecture & Urban Design led a thoughtful discussion on what makes spaces inviting and unique. It was also great to hear insights from local residents, who have a deep connection to the Fountainbridge area. We are grateful for their enthusiasm and knowledge as we continue to enhance this beloved community space.

Did you know that today is World Energy Efficiency Day? 💡 As a global society we are using more energy and creating more emissions than ever before, but one way that we can all reduce this is by increasing our energy efficiency. ⚡ The Falkirk Wheel was already extremely energy efficient, but due to a recent upgrade it only takes the equivalent energy of boiling eight kettles to lift the twin 250 tonne gondolas up 35m. 🤯 But not everything can be built as an engineering marvel. We are also working across the rest of the Scottish Canals estate to add energy efficiency measures. ✅ From better insulation or heating technology, to upgrading our electrical systems and introducing more centralised control of energy usage, there are hundreds of ways to increase energy efficiency. 🌍 #WorldEnergyEfficiencyDay #TheFalkirkWheel #NetZero Net Zero Scotland
