Forth Canoe Club
The Forth Canoe Club is Edinburgh's largest and Scotland's oldest surviving canoe club. It is a founding member of the Scottish Canoe Association.
The club originally met at Granton in North Edinburgh on the Firth of Forth. The first commodore was Jack Cuthill. In 1982 it moved to Lochrin Basin at the Edinburgh end of the Union Canal following an extensive dredging operation by the club's second and current commodore Kelso Riddell. When the union canal was developed by British Water Ways as part of the Millennium Link , Forth Canoe Club lost its buildings there and moved to the Old St Andrew's Boathouse further along the canal in 2004.
The club's motto, 'per vertus et per artis' means 'by wind and by sea'.
