There you go spoiling my plan to cycle the length of the Union Canal 
(and the Forth & Clyde) over to Glasgow in order to get a GPX track :)

Seriously though I think that you would be fine tracing the Union Canal, 
apart from the section where it goes through Wester Hailes (where a 
housing estate was built on top) and so has been re-routed since the old 
maps were created....

Cheers
