    Day 5: Fort William

    In the shadow of the UK’s largest hill, the Ben Nevis, lies the town of Fort William. Even though it is regarded as one of the wettest places in the UK, the scenery is breathtaking. today we will leave the canal through the sealocks in Corpach and we will anchor in front of Fort William, leaving us with some time to explore the town our to visit the Ben Nevis Distillery.

    Day 6: Tobermory (Isle of Mull)

    Today we have a nice day sailing to Tobermory. Tobermory is the largest town on the island Mull.  It is a charming little place with brightly colored houses and a series of small businesses such as a chocolate shop, bakery, candle maker, silversmith, art gallery and potter. And of course you can visit the famous Tobermory whiskey distillery.

    Day 7: Oban

    Oban is beautifully situated at the foot of the Lorn mountains. High above the city is McCraighs Tower, a nineteenth century replica of the Colosseum. Oban is sometimes called the pearl of the western highlands, with its winding streets and picturesque bay full of yachts, ferries and small fishing boats. The Flying Dutchman is located on the north pier, less than a hundred meters from the famous Oban whisky distillery.
