Eagle Barge Inn (PiP)

One from the archives, the floating pub, the Eagle Barge Inn at Laggan Locks on the Caledonian Canal captured in 2010. The benches can be seen on the deck where you may enjoy lunch, liquid or otherwise!!

Laggan Locks are a series of water lock gates between Loch Oich and Loch Lochy. They are part of the 60mile stretch of waterway that is the Caledonian Canal, which cuts through the Great Glen and connects the south coast of Scotland to the west coast. It was completed in 1822, the engineer responsible for this remarkable design was Thomas Telford.

With the name of the pub I just had to use a couple of Eagles' tracks as my links:-

So come on aboard and 'Take It Easy' for a while

Please drink responsibly and if you are going to 'Take It To The Limit' please don't drink and sail!!

A lovely view of the Caledonian Canal, Carol, with beautiful reflections. I hope you have a great Easter Monday. All the best, Joe

Ecobird ^club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock ^club

Thank you very much Joe. It is a nice peaceful part of the Caledonian Canal, although I also like watching boats going through the locks on Neptune;'s Staircase. It is that unhurried pace of life that I find particularly appealing.

Thank you very much Roger. Yes it is. I can't imagine that it moves around as it features on the map in the same place as when I took this image. It is a nice spot with a lovely view so why move around?!!

Nice shot Carol. I can only remember Fort Augustus on the Caledonian and even that's going back a long way. And anyhtng by Eagles gets my vote every time :-)

17 months ago.

Ecobird ^club has replied to Mick Herbert

Thank you very much Mick. I remember we were at Fort Augustus once when there was some sort of boat festival or regatta going on. It was a long time ago but I remember the decoarated boats and bunting everywhere. We also spent a lot of time at Neptune's staircase. It is quite fascinating and peaceful watching the boats going through the locks.

Pleased you enjoyed the music too. With the name of the pub it couldn't be anything else really!!!!

Hope you had a good Easter. Have a good week ahead

Doug Shepherd ^club

Love the perspective and the reflections of these fine composition Carol. Brings back good memories of a walk down the length of loch Oich and back. We followed the route of the old military road and a disused railway line (Fort William to Fort Augustus) on the eastern side of the loch towards these locks. Did not go as far as here, wishing we had now!
