Now that we are safely in the Caledonian Canal, we do not have to hurry. Jomima has to be at Inverness, at the other end of the canal, by 31 July 2008 to await collection by truck. She will then be returned to Newark-on-Trent. Today we only completed 5.4 miles with one lock and two swing bridges. All of them are operated by staff from British Waterways so it is considerably easier than our passage through the Crinan Canal.
We found a beautiful mooring at Gairlochy, which is just before the start of Loch Lochy. The guide that we have indicates that the museum of the Cameron Clan is only 4km away. Therefore, we unloaded our bicycles and made our way along a picturesque road to the museum. Unfortunately, the guide gave an incorrect distance and it was more like 4 miles to the museum – particularly when you take into account the long driveway. However, the museum proved very interesting and supplied a lot of information about the Clan as well as the commandoes that trained in this area during World War II. Who knows, the Clan may even supply the next Prime Minister.
