The 9 mile long Crinan Canal links Ardrishaig on Loch Fyne with Crinan on the Sound of Jura, In the nine miles from Ardrishaig to Crinan there are 15 locks and the canal reaches a height of 65 feet above sea level. The summit reach of the canal is relatively short and every time a boat goes through the locks about 300,000 litres of water are used. No fewer than seven reservoirs feed the summit reach to try to ensure that the Crinan Canal does not run dry. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/crinan/crinancanal/index.html Large may be good

The distinctive tower of Tarbert Parish Church reflected in the harbour at Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Sorry such a busy scene you may need to view large for detail

The quarry was started in 1745 and the introduction of steam pumps in 1842 meant they could quarry to a depth of 250 feet below sea level with only a narrow wall of rock holding back the sea, This wall was breached during a storm in 1881 and brought end to slate quarrying at Ellenabeich. Isle of Seil. Recommend a large view, For the Sight and Sound Group a song by the Quarrymen, www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4_LMMKq8Hw
