The type of data sought:

  • GPS coordinates of solitary wave sightings. These are accepted from canal society members only in the absence of photographic evidence. Please use this guide if you are unsure how to obtain GPS coordinates.
  • Photos or videos of solitary waves on Scotland’s canals.

Please note you can only submit one file at a time.

If you are visiting Scotland’s waterways, please take care around water. The rate of accidental drownings in Scotland is twice that of the UK average.
