The Great Glen is spectacularly beautiful. I know many sailors enjoy cycling too so if you can't see it by boat I thoroughly recommend cycling it. A group of us did it a few years ago. We hired electric bikes and spent 5 days cycling from Fort William to Inverness. There is plenty of accommodation along the way and portage companies to move your luggage between stops. We also found the locals to be very considerate towards cyclists. One of the best holidays I've had away from sailing. Thank you for sharing Erik.

Hi Eric, I loved following your trip through the Calendonian Canal in my home country of Scotland. I did that trip in 2021 on hired boat with my family and it gave me the the sailing bug. So much so that I bought my first sailing yatch a year later. The greatest memory I have of that trip is as we were going through the Laggan Avenue my 20 year old son said. "I live in such a wonderfully f****** country". I though , job done. I'm also please to see that I was not the only one that went 90 degrees across the lock at Fort Augustus, makes me feel better that such an experienced sail such as your self can make mistakes too. Please keep making these videos as I for one will keep watching. Happy New Year, Lang may yer lum reek.

Great video, love the Scottish Highlands. You can't really feel the Celtic magic of the Highlands the same through a video, but there is an ancient, mysterious, magical energy you can feel when you are there breathing the air, and looking around. It's like you can hear the heavenly sound of the bagpipes playing in your head as you look around. Good job😂
