We stayed in Inverness for two overnights as part of a 7-day RIT (Royal Irish Tours) bus trip around Scotland. Starting in Glasgow, driving northeast into the Highlands, through spectacular scenic Glencoe to Fort William. After lunchtime stop, we boarded the bus again and stopped at ‘Neptune’s Staircase’, a ‘staircase lock’ comprising of 8 connected locks, the longest staircase lock in the UK. There are another 21 locks along the length of the Caledonia Canal, before it reaches the east coast near Inverness. We saw glimpses of other locks along the way as we drove through to Inverness, including stops at historic Urquhart Castle on Loch (Lake) Lomond and a short 1/2-hour boat tour "looking" for the legendary Lochness Monster! Inverness was a lovely city and we really enjoyed our stay at AC Hotel by Marriott, located near the River Ness. The next day we drove on a further northern route back west to the Isle of Skye, including town of Portree. On the way back east to Inverness, we had another enjoyable historic stop at Eilean Donan Castle. The next day we headed south, including stops at Culloden Battlefield, Kincraig sheep farm, St. Andrew's, onto final Edinburgh destination.

It is the channel that connects the River with Lake Ness.It is possible to appreciate it from close by taking the boat ride, or then, see its shores walking around. Very beautiful and without any pollution.

In Scots, a loch is an inland waterway. There is only one lake in Scotland: Lake of Menteith. For no known reason, the small lake was called the Loch of Menteith until the 1800s. Caledonian Canal connects Scotland’s east coast near Inverness to the west coast at Corpach near Fort William along a diagonal slash that includes Loch Ness. There are a total of 29 locks, lots of locks. The canal and locks system were constructed in the early 1800s. The total length is about 60 miles, and a third of that is constructed. The canal and lock system reduced cargo ship transit time by days, much as the Panama Canal sped cargo ships between oceans from a month to a single day.
The canal has several names in Scottish Gaelic including Amar-Uisge/Seòlaid a’ Ghlinne Mhòir (“Waterway of the Great Glen”) and Sligh’-Uisge na h-Alba (“Waterway of Scotland”). I walked along both sides of the “lock ladder” and enjoyed hot cappuccino at the Visitor Center on that cold, misty day.

Sailed / rowed the Canal in a 14ft Dinghy ( not the usual craft transiting the Canal ) and from Corpach Marina to Inverness the Scottish Canals' staff were efficient, attentive, polite, accommodating, pleasant and it is they that helped make our 6 day trip an absolute joy. We were made to feel extremely welcome.

It's just a pity that there aren't really any ships coming through the locks.
The area is beautiful and exciting and a visit should be if you are in these parts.

Nice short walking area around the locks. We did not have the opportunity to see a boat go through the locks…that would have make the experience even better. Lots of little local restaurants and shops surround the locks. There is a parking area near the locks. You pay to park with the machine. Credit card is needed. Fee to park is reasonable.

Interesting to see the boats pass through the locks. Pretty houses with lots of flowers on the banks of the canal.

Watching the boats navigate through the lock system is a captivating experience. This scenic hike alongside the river offers unparalleled views of both the waterway and the majestic mountains.

I am cruising the caledonian canal this year can anyone give recommendations does and don'ts thanks
كُتب بتاريخ 28 يونيو 2019
some useful tips for the Caledonian Canal
night cruising not allowed as locks and bridges are not manned 24hours
1Learn the ropes! Always pass the rope beneath the safety bars on the bow and stern of the boat – this means the boat will be more secure.
2 When ‘walking’ the locks at Fort Augustus have the strongest person at the back and the ‘control’ at the front. It is much harder to get the back of the boat moving and keep it steady in moving water in the locks.
3 Be prepared to moor up before a bridge or lock to await it opening, someone coming the other way, or for more boats to go through together. There are pontoons right before the locks for you to wait at.
4 Watch out for the large trip boats on Loch Ness – they can cause quite a swell when they pass!
5 Consider wearing a lifejacket at all times – although you must wear them in the locks. While the wind can get up on the lochs, the Caledonian Canal is very safe, but you will need to watch out for other boat users – and your own crew’s bad driving!
6 There is no need to speed. You could sail the whole canal in 3 days – so with a week’s trip, you have plenty of time. The speed limit is 5 knots but to check your speed look at your bow wave – it should not be splashing on the canal banks.

I would love to cruise the Caledonian Canal. Can anyone recommend which is the better direction to go in?
كُتب بتاريخ 11 مايو 2019
Start at the Inverness end and head west, that way you're always looking into the sun and (IMHO) as you go west the views get better and better.
كُتب بتاريخ 12 مايو 2019
Sorry about late reply in heart of Highlands dodgy internet.
Parking is free at least for our 4 day cruise.
Pay for an early start ie mid day if you want to get up to Loch Ness on 1st day.
Do not enter Loch Ness if you are not confident of your crew/boat skills as the only safe anchorage is Urquhart Castle its a tricky place to moor up.
You could lock into Loch Ness in the morning and go back out before the locks close 6pm summer.
Remember it can get up to force 5-6 in minutes in Loch Ness the good news the bigger boats cope with 6 gusting 7-8 no problem.
Always bag the rear cabins first!
The engine is just below you it gives off heat all night.
Just post again for further info.

What are the best rooms?
كُتب بتاريخ 13 سبتمبر 2016
This is a canal, not a hotel but if you're asking where would be best to stay, if suggest either Fort William or Inverness.
There are many different types of accommodation available all along the length of the canal, ranging from hotels to camp-sites.

I would like to know if a cot would fit in the twin bedrooms in either an apartment or townhouse? Also would we be able to request an apartment on a lower level? Thank you

We are considering going in April or May of 2016 (yes that far ahead). How was the weather? What was the cost of drinks at the bar? Did they ladies "dress up" for dinner? I look forward to your opinion.
كُتب بتاريخ 22 يناير 2015
You will love the whole holiday, the Canal and the islands. Weather in April in the UK can be anything from cool, wet, sunny, dry - we were lucky with only a half day of rain on both our trips. Drinks were charged to your cabin; no cash taken at the bar. This worked very well. The dress was smart casual at dinner; some ladies "dressed up" a little on the last evening, the farewell dinner. We plan to return in 2016 too!
