Ratho is the location of Edinburgh Canal Centre, founded in 1989 by Ronnie Rusack. The Seagull Trust is a boating charity offering free cruises to disabled people since 1979. It also boasts the only dry dock on the Union Canal. On either side of Bridge 15 are a series of artworks relating to the canal's history. Many of these can be used as seating. "Baird Road" commemorates Hugh Baird who designed the canal. The Union Canal no longer operates as a transport link, but is now used for fishing, magnet fishing and some leisure boating. It has a towpath previously used by the horses which drew canal barges and which is now used as a footpath, the foot paths are popular places for dog walkers, bikers, runners and walkers. Notable attractions Edinburgh International Climbing Arena The arena was the world's biggest indoor climbing arena when it was opened in December 2003. Lin’s Mill West of Ratho stands a small group of mill buildings dating from around 1600. A group of rubble-built cottages sited at right angles to the mill were demolished in the 1960s reducing the size of the group. Conversion to a house in 1971 by Morris and Steadman greatly reduced its historic significance and it is listed category C. In the wood above Lin's Mill is the grave of William Lin reputed to be the last man in Scotland to die of the plague (but many similar plague graves exist from that year). The grave is marked by a slab with a crude coat of arms, memento mori and the inscription "Here lyeth the dust of William Lin right heritor of Linsmiln who died in the year of the lord 1645". The nearby Almond Aqueduct on the Union Canal is also known as the Lin's Mill Aqueduct. Wavegarden Scotland In October 2019, construction
