Day 18 Monday May 23 North Laggan to Fort Augustus 15k

Our first day on the Great Glen Way - a beautiful and flat path along the Caledonian Canal and Loch Oich, up to the start of Loch Ness
Getting ready to leave St Andrews in Fort William

The beginning of the path at North Laggan - following a disused rail line

The old station is being restored by a group of volunteers

The route is new in this section - some parts are still being worked on

Looking across Loch Oich to the ruins of Invergarry Castle

A ship run aground in front of the ruins

Beautiful spot for a cookie break



An old tunnel on the rail line

Cullochy Lock

A barge going through the lock

Deer grazing on the opposite shore

All kinds of boat traffic

A sea cadet training ship

Coming in to Fort Augustus

Sister ship of the barge we saw

The Kettle B&B

Dinner at a pub beside the canal, with a view towards Loch Ness
