About Caledonian Canal

Caledonian Canal is a canal which links the east coast at Inverness with the west coast at Corpach near Fort William, in Scotland. It was built in the nineteenth century by Scottish engineer Thomas Telford. The canal is 100 km (60 miles) long and goes from northeast to southwest. It has 4 aqueducts, 29 lakes and 10 bridges. One third of the whole canal is man-made, the rest is created by Loch Dochfour, Loch Ness, Loch Oich and Loch Lochy. The lakes are located in the Great Glen, on a geological fault in the Earth's surface.
