The Caledonian Canal, Fort Augustus

 

The Caledonian Canal connects the Scottish east coast at Inverness with the west coast at Corpach near Fort William in Scotland. The canal was constructed in the early nineteenth century by Scottish engineer Thomas Telford. (Wikipedia)

This postcard shows the five Fort Augustus Locks. These locks are in Fort Augustus, located at the foot of the famed Loch Ness. We visited the village of Fort Augustus during our summer holiday in Scotland last September 2022. We had fish and chips for lunch and took a stroll at this beautiful village teeming with tourists, which included walking in all five locks before driving back to Inverness via the eastern side of Loch Ness.
