Caledonian Canal, Banavie to Moy Bridge is a section of the early nineteenth-century artificial waterway engineered by Thomas Telford and completed in 1822. The canal was designed to provide a navigable route across Scotland from the Atlantic coast to the North Sea, avoiding the treacherous journey around Cape Wrath. This section of the canal traverses the Great Glen in the Scottish Highlands, cutting through Lochaber and connecting Banavie on Loch Eil to Moy Bridge near Inverness. The surviving remains reflect the substantial civil engineering achievement of the period, with the canal incorporating locks, aqueducts, and embankments constructed to accommodate sea-going vessels and inland craft.
