dbo:abstract Der Union Canal ist ein Schifffahrtskanal in Schottland. Er zweigt am Falkirk Wheel vom Forth and Clyde Canal ab und führt von dort nach Edinburgh. (de) Le canal de l'Union ou canal d'Union (en anglais : Union Canal) est un canal d'Écosse qui relie Édimbourg à Falkirk, où il rejoint le canal de Forth et Clyde. Ce canal, construit entre 1818 et 1822, est long de 50,7 km et a une altitude constante de 73 m. Son parcours ne comporte pas d'écluse, sauf à son extrémité débouchant dans le canal de Forth et Clyde. (fr) The Union Canal, full name the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, is a canal in Scotland, running from Falkirk to Edinburgh, constructed to bring minerals, especially coal, to the capital. It was opened in 1822 and was initially successful, but the construction of railways, particularly the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, which opened in 1842, diminished its value as a transport medium. It fell into slow commercial decline and was closed to commercial traffic in 1933. It was officially closed in 1965. The canal is listed as three individual scheduled monuments by Historic Scotland according to the three former counties, Midlothian, West Lothian and Stirlingshire, through which it flows. It has benefited from a general revival of interest in canals and, as a result of the Millennium Link, was reopened in 2001 and reconnected to the Forth and Clyde Canal in 2002 by the Falkirk Wheel. It is now in popular use for leisure purposes. (en) Het Union Canal is een 31,5-mijl (50,7 kilometer) lang kanaal in Schotland. Het loopt van -basin, , Edinburgh naar Falkirk, waar het Union Canal het Forth and Clyde Canal bereikt en met het Falkirk-wiel er wordt op aangesloten. Het kanaal werd in 1822 voor het scheepvaartverkeer geopend. Het was een belangrijke route voor het transport van vooral steenkool naar Edinburgh. De schepen moesten tol betalen om van het kanaal gebruik te maken. Met deze inkomsten werd het kanaal onderhouden en kregen de investeerders een vergoeding voor hun kapitaal. Het succes was van kort duur. In 1842 kwam de gereed en de spoorweg verdrong het vervoer over water. Het kanaal raakte inkomsten kwijt en in 1933 werd het commercieel gebruik van het kanaal gestaakt. In 1965 volgde de definitieve sluiting. Aan het einde van de 20e eeuw werd het kanaal weer geschikt gemaakt voor de recreatievaart. De aansluiting met het Forth and Clyde Canal werd hersteld met de Falkirk-wiel. Een bootreis langs het hele kanaal duurt minstens 12 uur. De sluizen in het kanaal zijn 21 meter lang, 3,5 meter breed en iets meer dan 1 meter diep. In het kanaal liggen diverse kanaalbruggen of aquaducts, zoals het die het kanaal over de rivier de Leith in Edinburgh leidt, het bij Ratho en het 250 meter lange Avon-aquaduct bij Linlithgow. Het Avon-aquaduct is het op een na grootste aquaduct in het Verenigd Koninkrijk na het Pontcysyllte-aquaduct.
