Ballooning over the canal
Although it had already been in use for some time, a formal opening ceremony for Auchinstarry Basin on the Forth & Clyde Canal was held on 15 September 2005. It included a number of visiting boats from other parts of the canal and from the Union Canal and a flotilla of decorated boats along the canal eastwards. The orange balloon hovering over the basin is a photographer's method of taking aerial pictures of the event. Since then a hotel and bar has been built on the grassy patch between the basin and the car park on the right.
