Scottish hire fleet is reprieved

摘要

CONCERNS THAT the closure of Capercaillie Cruisers' Falkirk hireboat operation would mean an end to holiday hire on Scotland's Lowland Canals have been allayed by the announcement of a new partnership between three hire companies and Scottish Canals. The three companies worked with Capercaillie to provide a combined fleet of around 20 narrowboats at Falkirk, where the Union Canal meets the Forth & Clyde Canal below the Falkirk Wheel, and the only holiday hire base on the lowland waterways.
