The Caledonian Canal connects Inverness with the west coast at Corpach near Fort William. It was constructed in the early nineteenth century by engineer Thomas Telford and as the above plaques show, it is a sister canal of the Gota Canal in Sweden, also constructed by Telford. The following set of images were taken when we enjoyed a Sunday walk from Inverness to Clachnaharry along the canal.

 |
| The largest crusie ship on the Caledonian Canal is The Lord of the Glens. A big 'beast!' Shame about the dowdy livery though. You can see this ship at Fort Augustus four days later if you go to the following link: http://www.fortaugustusphotos.co.uk and click on 21st March. |

| A staircase of locks (Muirtown Locks) looking toward Inverness. You can see The Lord of the Glens cruise ship in the middle distance. |

| The canal at Clachnaharry. It had been a long, but most enjoyable walk. Then it was off to the Clachnaharry Inn! |
