Overview

History & significance

Caledonian Canal, Cullochy Lock to Kyltra Lock, is a section of the early nineteenth-century navigation waterway that connects the Atlantic and North Sea. Constructed between 1803 and 1822 under the direction of engineer Thomas Telford, this portion of the canal forms part of the Great Glen Way, traversing through Inverness-shire in the Scottish Highlands. The locks themselves represent significant examples of early industrial canal engineering, facilitating the passage of vessels through the varied topography of the glen. This section of the canal remains an important monument to Scotland's early nineteenth-century commercial infrastructure and demonstrates the scale of civil engineering undertaken during this period.
