Cullochy Lock is a masonry lock forming part of the Caledonian Canal system in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The lock was constructed during the early nineteenth century as part of Thomas Telford's ambitious scheme to connect the east and west coasts of Scotland via the Great Glen, a project initiated in 1803 and completed in 1822. Cullochy Lock, situated within the flight of locks at Cullochy, represents the engineering standards of the period and remains substantially intact as a monument to early industrial canal construction. The lock continues to function as part of the operational waterway, serving both historical preservation and practical navigation purposes.
