Linlithgow Canal Centre and Wharf

Highlight • Structure

The Linlithgow Canal Centre lies on the Union Canal as it traverses the southern part of Linlithgow, an historic town in West Lothian. The scenic Canal Centre offers refreshments, boat hires and, during the summer months, regular canal cruises to the Avon Aqueduct.

Dudley Cat Statue

Highlight • Monument

Dudley was the much-loved cat of Liz Burrows of Linlithgow. He was a rescue cat who had come to her via Lothian Cat Rescue and had been named after the area of Edinburgh where he was found – Duddingston. It was unclear whether he was a lost pet or a stray – it seemed that the former was perhaps more likely as Dudley was not an ordinary moggy. He was identified as an ‘ocicat’ – so named because of the breed’s resemblance to the wild ocelot.
