It has been 70 years since they all came into public ownership and 10 years since the Millennium Link opened. We feel that now is the right time to take stock, consider what still needs to be done and how we should do it.</p> <p>Whilst Scottish Canals has many functions, caring for these historic assets is fundamental to all of them. Managing them sustainably will allow all of us to derive many more benefits in the years to come. We want people to value the canals as cultural heritage that enriches their lives. To realise this vision we need to make sure that this message underpins all our aspirations. To make a real difference we need to encourage participation and form lasting partnerships.<br /> " </p>
