Summary edit
| Description |
English: Crinan Basin This is the western end of the 9 mile long Crinan Canal opened in 1801 to designs by John Rennie & later improved by Thomas Telford. This was said to save around 75 miles but more importantly for small vessels by avoiding the necessity of sailing around the Mull of Kintyre which is colloquially known as,"MacBrayne's Cape Horn" for good reason since it is exposed to the Atlantic. In contrast Crinan makes an inshore passage possible for small vessels. Nowadays the canal is mostly used by leisure craft. |
