Saturday 24th May 2014











A very warm day, almost hot.
After breakfast I opted to walk the 145 steps to the McCaig's Tower. The views were incredible.
Once back on board it was an amazing sailing to Corpach Sea Lock where we enter the Caledonian Canal and its 29 lock system. We berthed at Corpach where a coach was waiting to drive us to Glenfinnan where Bonnie Prince Charlie came ashore. For the return trip to Corpach we enjoyed a train trip. 
Corpach sits under Ben Nevis which still has a covering of snow and with the colourful sunset it made for another amazing sight.
