West Lothian cousins to star in new series of hit Channel 4 travel show Narrow Escapes
Linlithgow cousins Graham Leadbitter and Caroline MacFarlane will be seen traveling up the Caledonian Canal in the new series
Two West Lothian cousins are set to feature in the upcoming new series of a hit Channel 4 travel show.
Cousins Graham Leadbitter and Caroline MacFarlane will be featured on the newest series of Narrow Escapes.
Narrow Escapes is now in its third series and introduces viewers to people who call the UK’s canal network home.
The travel show has crossed the border into Scotland for the first time, having explored canals and waterways in England and Wales in previous episodes.
Former sailor Graham and canal novice Caroline, both from Linlithgow, will be seen on screen travelling up the Caledonian Canal.
Their journey will see them begin in Fort William travelling towards the Scottish Highlands in a narrowboat before they set sail on Loch Ness on a Le Boat vessel.

Le Boat managing director and travel expert Cheryl Brown said: “It’s fantastic to see Narrow Escapes bringing the beauty of the Scottish waterways to its audience for the first time.
“Boating allows travellers to holiday in a different way, at a slower pace and encourages connection with their loved ones and the natural world.
“As a rising number of Brits seek to avoid international travel disruption and choose to stay closer to home this summer, boating on the Caledonian Canal is the perfect staycation option.
“From history and heritage to wildlife and even a spot of golf, this region is ideal for those looking to discover Scotland from a whole different perspective.”
The new 20-part series will be shown on weekdays on Channel 4 at 4pm and will be available to stream weekly online on the Channel 4 streaming service.
