The bottom lock gates of "Neptune's Staircase" at Loch Linnhe, leading to the River Lochy and the Caledonian Canal. The mechanisation has reduced the transit time to 90 minutes for the eight large locks with change in height totalling 64 feet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune%27s_Staircase

A retired ex-RNLI 48ft Solent class lifeboat. Seen on the Caledonian Canal. Although wanted to note her name at the time (2008) I was not able to do so (but I've found another shot, which gives it). I thought that this was a 46'/49' Watson, but as a discussion with another lifeboat enthusiast I had determined, it is a Solent.....sorry, my mistake!
