Scope and Content This image centres on the flight of five locks on the Caledonian canal completed in 1820 which lowers the canal down to the level of Loch Ness. Between 1890 and 1906 the lock gates were replaced with ones made from oak. The locks were mechanized around the 1960s. At the top end of the flight is Fort Augustus swing bridge, which carries the A82 over the canal. Top centre is the site of the Barracks - Kiliwhimin Fort, built in 1718, now part of the rear court of the Lovat Arms Hotel. Just the W curtain wall survives. It was supersede by Fort Augustus. There are references on Canmore and HER to Lovat Terrace, the straight line of houses to the right although no detail is given. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
