Wednesday 30 June 2010 Inverness N57 29.104’ W004 14.920’


Another leisurely day along the Caledonian Canal, in sunny and warm weather with little or no wind.







Leaving  the canal at Fort William you go out of the cut alongside what is claimed to be the smallest tower lighthouse in the world; today it is not used but stands as reminder of times gone by. Fort Augustus is half way along the canal although it has the majority of the locks and other structures. From Fort Augustus to Inverness is predominantly along Loch Ness with then a short amount of canal before the locks into Inverness. In Loch Ness we had a short detour to see Urhart Castle set in a beautiful bay, from the water. Then onto Seaport Marina in Inverness down the final flight of locks to be negotiated on the canal.
