Thank you very much Gen, it's a place I have not had the good fortune to visit. Give your self a big hug and a pat on the back from me.
When I was tramping around those parts last they hadn't started building it and there was no way of crossing Scotland by water unless you went to the Caledonian Canal.
Me and my late wife used to hire a big motor cruiser and we used the Calley Cut a few times from Fort William to Inverness.
Have you ever visited the Anderton Boat lift near Northwich, I had loads of photos of that and used to load the tanker directly across from it before they reconstructed it and have been to see it in action. Sadly, the file with those photos on, including the Severn Valley Railway and the funicular lift at Bridgnorth has been deleted.
If anybody has photos of the Anderton lift I would really appreciate a look at them
All I have is one taken from ICI Winnington across the canal from it. It was still in a state of dereliction then.
