Mountain biking

Unique series of locks connecting Loch Ness to the Caledonian Channel. Due to the high differential they needed multiple locks, giving this unique place in the middle of Fort Augutus. As it is easy reachable, beware of a lot of tourists though....

Mountain biking

In this quaint tourist town at the south end of Loch Ness ships on the Caledonian Canal have to pass 4 locks in a row to overcome the height difference. Very nice to grab a bite to eat, sit down and watch the procedure.
