A cruise through the beautiful sea loch of Loch Linnhe, past the historic Isle of Lismore and the quintessential Scottish castle, Castle Stalker, is a fitting prelude to the masterpiece of engineering which is the Caledonian Canal. This is one of the greatest waterways of the world, running 60 miles coast to coast from Fort William to Inverness. It passes through charming villages, spectacular lochs, and beautiful countryside. In autumn the colours are stunning and the deer can be heard rutting in the hills. The area is full of historic attractions; the Loch Ness Monster is just one of many myths and legends.
