Information about the place
Edinburgh Quay is a place on the waterways at the end of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal; past Slateford Aqueduct (northeastern end) (2 miles and 2½ furlongs to the southwest).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Slateford Aqueduct (northeastern end) is Leamington Lift Bridge No 1; 1¼ furlongs away.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Plenty of space with a mixture of towpath moorings (bollards) and some pontoons with electric and water. The pontoons are supposedly "secure" but the gate is easily by-passed.

You can wind here.

Wikipedia

Wikipedia has a page about Edinburgh Quay

Lochrin is a small area in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It is in the south-west corner of the city centre, to the west of Tollcross, and south of Fountainbridge. Lochrin contains a wide mixture of retail shops, leisure facilities, other businesses and tenement housing. Major new office and residential developments have replaced some of the older buildings.

When the basins at the eastern end of the Union Canal were filled in and the canal truncated in 1921, Lochrin Basin became the eastern terminus. At that time, the Leamington Lift Bridge was moved from where Fountainbridge crossed the canal to its current location just to the west of the basin.

Lochrin Basin is the centrepiece of Edinburgh Quay, a mixed-use development providing office and residential accommodation and licensed premises, which was voted the Best Regeneration project in Scotland at the Scottish Design Awards 2005. It is also the eastern end of the Forth and Clyde Canal Pathway.
