scottish canals
Scotland’s Canals are all
operated by British Waterways
Scotland and allow boat users
to safely circumnavigation
Scotland. The Crinan and
Caledonian Canals allow the
user to avoid having to round
the Mull of Kintyre and Cape
Wrath respectively, whilst the
recently refurbished Forth
and Clyde Canal ensures that
one is able to avoid the rather
more lengthy detour around
the southern half of the United
Kingdom!
Caledonian Canal
The Caledonian Canal is truly the
‘International Gateway’ to cruising in
Scotland. Stretching from Inverness to Fort
William it is one of the great waterways of
the world, offering visitors afl oat and ashore
spectacular scenery, amazing wildlife not to
mention famous Scots hospitality.
Crinan Canal
The Crinan Canal meanders through truly
magnifi cent scenery which is rich in history,
with many world class heritage sites, a
designated wildlife reserve and miles of © John G Moore
forest walks and cycle ways. So step back in
time, relax, slow down and stretch those sea
legs ashore. Though only 14.5km in length
there is just so much to see and do from
walking, cycling fi shing or just taking time out
to explore Knapdale. 61

more to sail between the Firth of Forth
and the Firth of Clyde. The canal passes by
