The story behind the image
The Caledonian Canal connects the North Sea (at Inverness) with the Atlantic Ocean (at Fort William). As there is always a difference in the tide, they built in staircases that are operated today as they have been hundred years ago. It’s an interesting spectacle to see yachts coming in, and you can easily spend an hour just sitting on the greens enjoying the action at the staircase.
