The River Avon is a river largely in the Falkirk council area, Scotland. It originates from the Fannyside Lochs in North Lanarkshire, some 3 miles (5 km) east of Cumbernauld.〔Royal Scottish Geographical Society, (2006), ''Scotland: an encyclopedia of places & landscapes'', page 39〕 It flows through Avonbridge, through the Avon Gorge, through Muiravonside Country Park, past the west of Linlithgow and enters the Firth of Forth near Grangemouth. From just east of Avonbridge to just north of Linlithgow it forms the boundary between Falkirk and West Lothian council areas. It is 19 miles (31 km) in length.〔 The Avon Aqueduct—Scotland's longest navigable aqueduct—carries the Union Canal above the river.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avon, River )〕 Like other rivers of this name throughout Britain, the name Avon simply means 'river', derived from Scottish Gaelic ''abhainn'', or Brythonic (i.e. Old Welsh) ''afon''. ==See also== *Other rivers named River Avon *List of places in Falkirk council area 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「River Avon, Falkirk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
