The staff are friendly and helpful. The narrow boat, Patsy, was clean and had everything on it that you needed. We... had a blast cruising to Glasgow and back to Falkirk. Glad the locks were executed by the Scottish Canal staff. If we had to do them ourselves it would have been wee bit intimidating.read more
