Wednesday –Caledonian canal
Fort Augustus Lift on the Caledonian Canal was a truly amazing sight, a canal lock with 5 gates and 2 people operating the gates and two craft coming up from Loch Ness into the Caledonian Canal-this canal allows you to sail/motor from Inverness virtually to Oban on the West coast ( there is a big flotilla traveling the other way this week with lots of song and dance on the way ) and has several locks and swing bridges and we saw them both in operation –not only that but Lyndsay was the lock keeper for a time opening the sluices and then opening one of the gates.
