Fort Augustus sits along the sides of the river Oich and the canal. It is also the next flight of 4 locks leading on to Loch Oich. Over the next few miles there are another couple of locks and a swing bridge before opening out into the Loch. Our first danger after the swing bridge is to avoid the Weir on the Starboard side. There are plenty of bouys to keep us in line!
North Eastern end of Loch Oich
We are reminded in the skippers guide that Loch Oich is partof a hydroelectric power complex and so is subject to changes in level and therefore depth. There are a few opportunities to stop. Glengarry Castle Hotel for lunch maybe or a visit to Invergarry castle.
Then it's on through Laggan Locks and into Loch Locky. By then it will probably be time to tie up for the night.
