Caol周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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.

Nestled on Caol Beach near the town of Fort William, the Corpach shipwreck sits proudly amidst a blend of sand and shingle. This impressive fishing vessel lies in the shadow of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom.

NEPTUNE would never have dreamed that he would become the - albeit unofficial - namesake of a building in the Scottish Highlands, as he actually comes from somewhere else entirely, namely the Mediterranean. His name stands for the pre-Christian mythology 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-fold lock system 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.

The Corpach shipwreck is an iconic sight on the shore of Loch Linnhe. It's often photographed with the backdrop of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain. Built in 1975, it was a fishing vessel that operated in the North Sea. After it retired, there were plans to turn it into a restaurant while it was moored in Kinlochleven. However, this never came to fruition and the vesel was moved to Camusnagaul Bay in 2009. Then, on 8th December 2011, it was torn from its mooring by a monumental storm. Today, it sits as an evocative landmark on the beach between Corpach and Caol.

This lighthouse was built to mark the entrance to the sea-lock at Corpach, the western end of the Caledonian Canal. It is one of three lights of similar design on the canal, the other two being at Gairlochy and Fort Augustus.
