St Andrew Boat Club (SABC) is the oldest amateur rowing club in Scotland, and is located at Meggetland on the Union Canal, in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland.
A brief history of the boat club can be found here.[1]
SABC is affiliated to Scottish Rowing,[2] the National Governing Body for rowing in Scotland.

Training on the water usually takes place on a 1600m stretch of the Union Canal during the week. At weekends regular training sessions take place at Auchinstarry, the River Clyde in Glasgow or Strathclyde Country Park, Scotland's Olympic standard regatta course.
Land sessions take place across the road from the boat club, at Energy Gym.[4]
