Fort William Scotland to Inverness


Lock gated at Fort AugustusStretching from Fort William to Inverness, the Caledonian Canal is 60 kilometers very long. 22 miles of which are man-made for connecting the natural lochs of Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, the famous Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour. The canal is, also by today’s criteria an incredible feat of manufacturing first opened in 1822. It had been built to greatly help commercial delivery steer clear of the treacherous trip around the western shore. Unfortunately by the time the canal was finished many ships under sail (that the canal was created) was in fact replaced by vapor ships of much better in a position to negotiate the west coast oceans than their predecessors, so traffic through the channel hardly ever really paid for itself.

Not very today - the canal these days is absolutely humming with vessels, most of them personal pleasure ships from all over the entire world whom started to make the voyage through the popular lochs by which the canal passes. More famous area of water that forms part of the Caledonian Canal is Loch Ness, where you can find a number of cruise organizations providing multiple ship trips and sailing vacations to select from in the event that you feel tempted to decide to try the water. You could combine boating with walking parts of the Great Glen Method which employs around the same course.
