The Alena is leaving Neptune's Staircase and heading towards Loch Linnhe. In the picture you can see the A830 road bridge and the railway bridge over the Caledonian Canal have been swung open to allow her to pass through them. On the far left is the edge of the signal box that controls the railway bridge.
Neptune's Staircase, designed by Thomas Telford is a series of eight locks and is the longest staircase lock in the country.

These rises are great fun, aren't they. I have many fond memories of the Bingley Five Rise in Yorkshire which are very steep but not as long as this staircase. A great picture and information. Thank you.
