I'd bet some existing house boats are airbnb'ing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19331#post-321069 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 16:36:09 +0000 Morningsider 321069@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Scottish Canals are utterly skint - the Union and Forth &amp; Clyde canals came pretty close to being closed to full navigation in the last year, as they couldn't afford to fix several bridges. Only a last minute cash injection from the Scottish Government saved the day. I would imagine they will be happy to get any commercial income - so expect more of this. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19331#post-321059 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 12:42:40 +0000 jdanielp 321059@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can't help but wonder if the sudden fixing of the erupting towpath and the replacement of the sorry looking trees with nice new trees this last week is anything to do with the boatel decision. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19331#post-321057 Sat, 18 Jan 2020 12:18:47 +0000 chdot 321057@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/why-boatels-edinburghs-union-canal-are-mistake-sarah-boyack-1366819" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion/why-boatels-edinburghs-union-canal-are-mistake-sarah-boyack-1366819</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19331#post-320167 Fri, 03 Jan 2020 14:15:44 +0000 gembo 320167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Scot gov seems often to over turn local decisions.

Although they are genuinnely homes, and bigger than many flats in Edinburgh.
