Scottish Inland Waterways Association

SIWA explored the possibility of becoming a branch of the Inland Waterways Association (IWA), but decided against it.

At SIWA's Inaugural Meeting, the General Secretary of IWA welcomed the setting up of a separate Scottish organisation.

SIWA has many corporate and individual members who are helping to campaign on restoration, environmental, and day-to-day canal issues.

It also engages with British Waterways on restoring the navigability of the River Leven.

SIWA has strong links with the Inland Waterways Association Ireland (IWAI).
