Lock House on the Crinan Canal

The Crinan canal is a canal in the west of Scotland, taking its name from the village of Crinan at its westerly end. It provides a navigable route between the Clyde and the Inner Hebrides, without the need for a long diversion around the Kintyre peninsula, and in particular the exposed Mull of Kintyre.
