Who are We

Scotland's only national waterways charity, the Scottish Waterways Trust, creates brighter futures for people, wildlife and communities along Scotland's canals.

Since the Trust was first established over a decade ago*, we have raised £10 million and helped over 100,000 people train for work and improve their health and mental well-being.

We are proud to have HRH The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay, as our Patron.

Led by a Board of seven Trustees, the Trust operates with the support of public donations, volunteers, organisational funders and a wide network of partners across Scotland's five canals.

The Trust is headquartered at The Falkirk Wheel with project officers active on the Lowland canals and on the Caledonian Canal in the Highlands.

* The Trust was established as part of the GB-wide Waterways Trust in 2000 and reconstituted as a standalone Scottish charity, the Scottish Waterways Trust, in November 2012.
