Summary

edit
Description
English: The Caledonian Canal. In the old days the canal was an important route, allowing fishing boats from the east coast of Scotland to take a 'short cut' in order to fish the west coast, and vice versa.It was the A1 of Scottish waterways. While fishermen still use the route, it is much less busy now. Now the old canal is the domain of pleasure craft, still making use of the short cut across land or simply cruising up and down taking in the wonderful Highland scenery. Here we see pleasure craft approaching the lift bridge of Oich.
