From the Basin

Another view of Ben Nevis, this time from across the Corpach Basin and Loch Linnhe.

The Corpach basin is at the western end of the Caledonian Canal, vessels heading east face a staircase lock comprising eight locks on the Canal. Built by Thomas Telford between 1803 and 1822, it is the longest staircase lock in Britain, and known as "Neptune's Staircase"

Thank you, Peter, as you say this is a popular spot and the ever-changing boats in the basin can make a great difference to image content.

Many thanks Herb, It all depends on what type of boat is moored in pole position.
