Scope and Content The passenger steamer, the "Glengarry", is entering the lowest lock in a flight of six, through an open swing bridge. People are watching on the road with a booking office behind. Houses and shops on the hillside beyond with hills on the horizon. Names of steamers, "Gondolier", " Glengarry", "Ethel", "Cavalier" and "Lochness", passing through the locks are legible on booking office notice board beside cottage with wall clock. The Glengarry was built in 1844 and first called the "Edinburgh Castle". The Caledonian Canal, 60 miles long, connecting natural lochs by 22 miles of canal and locks, was surveyed by James Watt (1736-1819) and built by Thomas Telford (1757-1834). Building began in 1803; it was opened in 1822 and finally finished in 1847.
