Quick Facts Location, Home water ...

Originally started in 1867 it has been going continuously ever since. The annual Edinburgh/Glasgow Boat Race[1] first took place in 1877, ten years after the boat club started. As one of the largest rowing clubs in Scotland, it has over a hundred active members, with many crews competing at all levels. The club celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2017.[2] The club is affiliated to Scottish Rowing.[3]

In May 2022, EUBC won the Victor Ludorum at the BUCS Regatta.

Facilities and training

The senior fleet is racked at Strathclyde Park, Scotland's purpose built regatta lake, where most water training takes place. Novice crews also row on the Union Canal in Edinburgh, which enables them to train on the water during the week.

Land training takes place in the Pleasance Centre for Sport and Exercise,[4] which has weights rooms and a fleet of ergs in the purpose-built Katherine Grainger rowing gym.
