Places to Visit
Neptune’s Staircase
Within five minutes walk of Innisfree is the magnificent
Caledonian Canal, a geological fault line that split Scotland in
half millions of years ago. Neptune’s staircase is a series of
locks and an engineering masterpiece constructed by Thomas
Telford in 1822 designed to negotiate the sixty-foot difference
between the water levels of the canal and those of Loch Linnhe.
