The new Winchburgh Marina was opened in May 2024 with over 1000 pupils and community residents enjoying the celebrations. It’s a great new asset to the growing village.
And connects the village with paths to the Auldcathie Park and to the Village main street and local shops. It sits at the heart of Winchburgh’s new bustling community.
The marina is connected to the Union Canal and can take you by wheel or foot to Edinburgh or Falkirk within an hour. It is managed by Scottish Canals and can accommodate 20 barges, 9 of which will be residential, bringing water based living to the community.
As you walk along the canal spot the new amazing ‘marina bridge mural’ which was designed by the community and is part of our commitment to Public Art throughout Winchburgh.
The marina has come alive with visiting barges and regular water sports activity which is a programme developed with our local partner Winchburgh Community Development Trust.
We are delighted to welcome two local business – Wee Winchburgh Café and Villaggio Gelato to the marina – in their bespoke Beach Huts – serving regular and visitors with amazing coffee, cake and ice cream. There is more to come around the marina with the Scottish Canals facilities building and future restaurant facilities.
Sitting just across from the Marina is Daisy Park which will be linked by a footbridge over the Canal and form a new unique green and blue space for all to enjoy.
