Winchburgh Developments and Scottish Canals have agreed a contract for the marina in the West Lothian town. The marina will be located at the heart of the new town centre, connected by a footbridge to the new Daisy Park, with access to the Union Canal towpath. It will include 20 berths, and a further 29 canal moorings, as well as leisure and commercial spaces.

John Hamilton, CEO at Winchburgh Developments, said: “The new marina is an important part of the masterplan for Winchburgh, providing new leisure facilities for the local community and visitors to enjoy.
