Archaeology Notes

NT17SW 78 NT 13934 70872.

See also NT17SW 63, Ratho, Union Canal Bridge 15.

This inn is just to the W of Bridge 15 (NT17SW 63). Originally it was a farm, which was then converted to a staging post on the canal. Today it is a popular public house and restaurant, and the base for the Edinburgh Canal Centre. Here interpretation, activity, boat hire and cruises are on offer.

H Brown 1997.

This public house is clearly marked on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map.
