Canals
Scotland has three main canals, the Caledonian Canal, the Crinan Canal and the Forth and Clyde 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 afloat and ashore to spectacular scenery, amazing wildlife not to mention famous Scots hospitality.
Crinan Canal Though only 14km in length, the Crinan Canal meanders through truly magnificent scenery which is rich in histroy, with many world class heritage sites, a designated wildife reserve and miles of forest walks and cycle ways.
The Forth and Clyde Canal enables boats once more to sail between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. The canal passes by large, vibrant towns, busy thouroughfares and into peaceful country locations with many interesting places to visit. The world's only rotating boat lift connects the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal, running from Edinburgh to Falkirk.
