The Great Glen Way is not accessible between North Laggan and Aberchalder (June 8, 2024). A large area west of the Caledonian Canal is strictly closed and sealed off by heavy gates. A severe winter storm has made extensive forestry work necessary. A diversion via Invergarry is well signposted. The additional effort is a good 2.5 miles and about 300 meters in altitude.

The Eagle Barge Inn is a unique and cozy cafe and restaurant floating on the Caledonian Canal at Laggan Locks. It is a converted Dutch barge built in 1926 and used as a troop transporter in World War II. The café and restaurant has a warm fireplace and comfortable leather sofas in the bar, and a separate dining area.

Laggan Locks are a series of water lock gates on the Caledonian Canal between Loch Oich and Loch Lochy. Boats coming from the north-east side arrive at a water level of 35 meters above sea level (the highest stretch of the Caledonian Canal). They are lowered through the locks to the lower water level at Loch Lochy. It's a fascinating place with a bit of everything: scenery, boats using the locks, the site of a historic battle and a floating cafe!

Such a lovely spot. Don't miss the bench behind the lighthouse - makes for a lovely little break

Do take the little detour to the Pepperpot Lighthouse

Who the hell is digging a canal through the middle of the Highlands? You might think, but it still seems quite consistent. The Great Glen is a tectonic fault that runs right through it and was also worked by a glacier. This left behind a steep trough valley. And although we are in the mountains, the top of the canal is only 42 m. This is ideal for a canal that should make the difficult journey around the outside, and also through the Pentland Firth, unnecessary. The canal was built from 1803 to 1822 under the direction of the Scottish engineer Thomas Telford. Only about a third of the total length of the canal had to be dug, otherwise natural water bodies, the lochs, were used. One of the lakes will still play a role here! The differences in height are compensated for by a total of 29 locks, partly individually and partly in lock staircases, the longest of which, Neptune's Staircase, consists of 8 individual locks and is the longest lock system in Great Britain.

Laggan Locks is home to a small cafe and a couple of glamping options too. The locks separate Loch Lochy from Loch Oich, maintaining the water level on the northeast side – the highest stretch of the Caledonian Canal.

The bar is closed on Mondays!
