Number 8!

Cairnbaan, Lock On the Crinan Canal, The canal has 15 locks and 7 bridges and runs from Ardrishaig on Loch Gilp in the east to Crinan on the Sound of Jura at the western end.

Opened in 1908, the 9-mile canal was built to provide fast travel for boats from Glasgow to Oban, bypassing the often dangerous Mull of Kintyre.

The canal is very busy during the summer months and a lock-side seat is perfect for just watching the boats,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Large for detail!
HBM and a good new week,

I used to work beside a bloke from here, Roger. He was called 'Baldy', which was pronounced as 'bah-ldy'. He wasn't bald. 'Baldy' is common shortening of Archibald in this part of Scotland. I hope you have a great new week. All the best, Joe

Thank you David, Mariners do not operate these locks, because of the weight you need to employ lock men!

At the first glance I was wondering...is it Friday already and what happened to this week, where did it go... but on the second glance I spotted the bench, yeah! :-)

Thank you Tanja, almost all the locks on the canal are this style,
They need plenty of leverage because of deep water in the locks!
