LOCH NESS AND THE CALEDONIAN CANAL

Glen Tarsan or Glen Massan

The Caledonian Canal is one of the great waterways of the world, running through the very heart of Scotland.

The cruise journeys from Loch Linnhe on the west coast to Inverness on the east coast, entering the Caledonian Canal either at Fort William or Inverness. Navigating Neptune’s Staircase while on board is the best way to appreciate Telford’s engineering masterpiece, with the canal passing through charming villages and beautiful countryside. The scenery is superb, from viewing brooding Glencoe and the towering mass of Ben Nevis to the striking reflections in the series of pretty lochs that link the canal. The area is full of historic attractions; anchoring off Castle Urquhart and the magical beauty of Loch Ness are major highlights.
