カレドニア運河のおすすめランニングルート

Entering the castle at this strategically important location is currently not possible due to renovation work.

The final section of the West Highland Way, a welcome track down a beautiful valley to finish at Fort William. Ben Nevis, Britain's highest peak, is up to the right.

The northern end of the West Highland Way national trail is at the end of the high street in Fort William. The trail stretches 96 miles (154 Km) from Milngavie to Fort William. The statue “Man with Sore Feet” was made by David Annand and has marked the end since 2010. The West Highland Way Race normally ends at the leisure centre or the Nevis Centre.

The Neptune Staircase is a series of eight locks on the Caledonian Canal in Scotland. Built between 1803 and 1822, the locks are an impressive feat of engineering.

nice walk

NEPTUNE would never have dreamed that he would become the - albeit unofficial - namesake of a building in the Scottish Highlands. After all, he actually comes from somewhere else entirely, namely the Mediterranean. His name stands for the pre-Christian myths of antiquity, of which the numerous Greek and Roman deities in particular have been preserved in the collective memory of humanity - at least in Europe. However, the fact that a water structure with the eight locks found here bears his name "Neptune's Staircase" is entirely justified: In Roman mythology, NEPTUNE is the god of the sea, and in Greek mythology his counterpart is POSEIDON.

Leanachan Forest on the northern slopes of Ben Nevis is well-developed for mountain biking and walking trails. It's an active working forest, managed by Forestry and Land Scotland so the trails do change as logging work continues.

An incredibly beautiful river that naturally meanders through the valley. I like to linger and pause at every bend.
