Crinan Canal

The Cinan canal is 9 miles long, was desgined by John Rennie and work on it started in 1794 and finished in 1801. There were problems and part of it had to be redesigned which fell to Thomas Telford in 1816. The canal was completed in 1801. provides a navigable route between the Clyde and the Inner Hebrides and saves the long diversion around the exposed Mull of Kintyre.
