The Seagull Trust was formed in 1978 to provide free canal cruising for disabled people and to help revitalise the decaying Scottish Lowland Waterways. Initially cruises ran from Ratho on the Union Canal but there are now a total of four branches located in Scotland on the Union, Forth & Clyde and Caledonian canals at Falkirk, Inverness, Kirkintilloch and Ratho. Cruising takes place on a daily basis, including weekends, during the months of April to October and the duration of the cruise is in accordance with local conditions and the wishes of the user group. Volunteers crew the purpose built canal boats and all that is asked of guests is that they organise their own transport to the canal, provide their own carers, medical requirements, any special equipment or food they may require, (tea and coffee is provided).
