We were delighted to welcome some of Scottish Canals newest receruits today for a bit of rope handling training. Our instructors, George and Gordon, along with our newest recruit Lea, enjoyed a morning transiting up and down Muirton Locks allowing the Lock Keepers to practice their new skills.

Thank you to Grazey Days for the amazing sandwiches and sausage rolls at lunch time!

If you want to find out more about rope work you will do when transiting the Caledonian Canal check out our YouTube video: https://youtu.be/cbYVfFGqYts

Good luck to all the new recruits and look forward to seeing you down the Glen during the season!
