    On to Fort Augustus

    June 10, 2018 in Scotland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We walked today from Lagan Locks to Fort Augustus. It was a relatively short day of around 17 km on a level surface. Much of the route was along the original railway line that was never commissioned and ran between Ft Augustus and Spean Bridge. The path went alongside the Caledonian Canal that connects the Lochs along the Great Glen. The canal was built between 1803 and 1822. It was cloudy and cool but no rain. Fort Augustus is at the far western end of Loch Ness.Read more
