Caledonian Canal

Highlight • Monument

Connecting Inverness and Corpach, the Caledonian Canal stretches 60 miles (97 km) through some of Scottland's most stunning scenery through vast lochs like Loch Ness and magnificent glens. Only one-third of the canal is actually man-made as it flows through many lochs en route.

Built in 1822, the canal was used to transport goods until 2005. Today, it is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and attracts many visitors each year.

Neptune's Staircase

Highlight • Structure

Built between 1803-22, Neptune’s Staircase is a flight of eight locks on the Caledonian Canal. Set in the shadow of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, it is the longest staircase lock flight in Scotland. This feat of engineering raises the canal by 62 feet (19 m) over a quarter of a mile (400 m) with continuous masonry and takes roughly 90 minutes for a boat to travel up or down.

Ben Nevis Distillery and Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

Named after the highest mountain in Scotland, just around the corner, is the Ben Nevis Distillery, which invites to round trips and whiskey tastings. For hikers, there are also small bottles to take away;)
