Introducing The Great Glen
The spectacular chain of long, thin lochs stretching from Inverness to Fort William could be axe wounds, bleeding crystal blue water. Created by geothermal activity over 400 million years ago, the line of lochs sits on a fault line with stunning Lochs Linnhe, Lochy, Oich and Ness all offering impressive scenery as well as a link between coasts with the Caledonian Canal. Historically, this area has been fiercely contested as a communication route and has witnessed the bloody battles of Glen Coe and Culloden.
