We take a short drive to the picturesque village of Banavie and see the impressive Neptunes Staircase, an incredible feat of engineering built by Thomas Telford between 1803 and 1822. This amazing flight of eight locks on the Caledonian Canal is the longest staircase lock in Scotland and raises the canal by 62ft.
