Leg Sponsor - Caledonian Canal

Caledonian Canal

The Caledonian Canal offers a scenic passage between the North Sea with canal ranging from cruisers, ocean going yachts, fishing boats and the occasional naval vessel, as well as several firms based on the canal offering both motor cruisers and yachts for charter, day trips, hotel boats and even a cruise ship! The canal’s towpaths form part of 2 sustainable long distance routes through the Great Glen, namely the Great Glen Way and the Great Glen Mountain Bike Trail, and visitors can now enjoy the beautiful scenery by boat, bike or boot!

RNLI Kessock, Inverness

Kessock is one of Scotland’s youngest lifeboat stations, operating an inshore B class Atlantic 75 lifeboat. For over 10 years the lifeboat crews have launched the lifeboats, not only to save lives at sea but also to save lives inland during flooding.

RNLI Loch Ness

The Loch Ness RNLI rescue boat is run by a small team of volunteers who live in and around Drumnadrochit. The station operates an Atlantic 75 lifeboat ‘Mercurius’ which is provided and maintained by the RNLI.
