Ashley Terrace Boathouse reconstruction | 2,000 | Edinburgh Union Canal Society is a charitable canal society on the Union Canal. The Society’s main base is the Ashley Terrace Boathouse, near Harrison Park in the Polwarth area of the city.
EUCS aims to encourage and promote the public use of those stretches of the Union Canal and its towpath lying in and near Edinburgh, for educational, sporting, leisure and recreational purposes. Funding was awarded to contribute towards: demolishing of the existing boathouse as it is in a poor state, making use of an unused utility block to let out rowing boats etc to members of the public to raise income while boat house is closed and coming up with a business plan to raise funds to reconstruct the boathouse as a permanent resource for canal users. |
