Old Photograph Blacksmith Cottage Winchburgh Scotland

Old photograph of the blacksmith outside his cottage in Winchburgh in West Lothian, Scotland. The Edinburgh to Falkirk Union Canal passes through Winchburgh. It follows a contour south to Broxburn and eventually Edinburgh. Westwards it goes through Linlithgow, and then Falkirk. The Union Canal was used in the past to transport goods between places situated in and between Edinburgh and Glasgow, there was a connection with the Forth and Clyde Canal at Falkirk. The Bridge 19-40 Canal Society has a base at Winchburgh on the canal, and it operates seasonal boat trips departing from Port Buchan located in neighbouring Broxburn on West Main Street. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
