Editorial use only. The British Waterways Corpach Sea Lock Office reflecting in the sea loch on a sunny spring day. The southern end of the canal starts at this point and continues for 60 miles (96 km) north to Inverness passing through Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness in the process. The canal was built by Thomas Telford and opened in 1822. It is Scotland's longest canal comprising 29 lochs. The most dramatic part is the flight of eight locks at Banavie - called Neptune's Staircase. The canal is now mostly used by yachts and other pleasure vessels either cruising on the canal or using it as a short cut avoiding the dangerous Pentland Firth.
