Old Railway Bridge
The Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway used to run over this bridge; the line was closed in 1946. A swing bridge carried the line over the canal.

Caledonian Canal, Fort Augustus
This is the top lock of the flight of five that takes the Caledonian Canal down to Loch Ness. Although there is little evidence in this view, the canal was once crossed here by a railway - an extension to the Fort Augustus branch line to Fort Augustus Pier on the loch. The branch itself was closed to passengers in 1933, and completely in 1946, but this stretch had gone by 1924.

Former Railway Bridge over Canal Side Road
Dating from around 1900 and category C listed, the bridge was built as an extension of the line from Fort Augustus to Inverness. It was only in use for three years, as the extension of the line to Inverness was abandoned.

Caledonian Canal
This is the section of the canal from the top of the flight of locks at Fort Augustus, looking towards Loch Oich. The large yacht on the right is Second Wind, from Fort Lauderdale in Florida, USA. The one in mid-channel is also from Fort Lauderdale, but I could not quite read her name.
