Visiting the Canal Museum

The address is Canal Basin, Manse Road.

By Car

The Canal Basin is signposted from the roundabout at the east end of the High Street in Linlithgow. Take the B9080 towards Winchburgh. Immediately after going under the railway bridge at the lights turn sharp right up Back Station Road, 300 yards further on turn left over the canal bridge. The basin is on the right.

Enter EH49 6AJ into your sat nav and you will be directed straight to the museum.
