Union Canal (Scotland)
The Union Canal, full name the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, is a canal in Scotland. It goes from Falkirk to Edinburgh.  It was made to bring minerals, especially coal, to Edinburgh. It was opened in 1822 and was successful, but the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, which opened in 1842 took the trade. It declined and was closed to commercial traffic in 1933. It was officially closed in 1965.
