Polmont to Linlithgow
Recommended: The highlight of the route is the spectacular Avon Aqueduct. A simple, direct and easy-to-follow walk mostly along the Union Canal towpath, with an uphill section from Polmont at the start and a downhill section into Linlithgow. Good surfaces with no road sections and though the towpath is narrow in places and there are stepped sections in Linlithgow. Follows the Union Canal towpath. Linlithgow has plenty of history to explore.
1 end-of-walk reward: the Granary
Warnings: The towpath is narrow in places. Stepped sections in Linlithgow may present problems for some, though alternatives exist.
