Last stop on the way back from our West Coast holiday was Crinan. The Crinan Canal starts at Ardrishaig on Loch Fyne, and ends nine miles away at Crinan on the Sound of Jura. It was designed to provide a quick link between the west coast and islands at one end and the Clyde Estuary at the other. It is now mostly used by pleasure craft.
Boats in the Crinan Basin. The boat in the front is the tugboat the Duke of Normandy II and directly behind it is the Vic 32, the last seagoing coal fired steam 'Clyde Puffer'
