Old Photograph Muirtown Inverness Scotland
Old photograph of Muirtown, Inverness, Scotland. An expansion of the Caledonian Canal close to its north eastern termination, the Muirtown Basin lies between Clachnaharry and Muirtown a mile north west of Inverness city centre. Planned in the early 19th century as a second harbour for the city by the canal's engineer Thomas Telford, it could not cope with the size of ships which were soon in use and thus never fulfilled its potential. It now serves as a marina. Immediately to the south of the basin are the Muirtown Locks, a flight of four locks on the Caledonian Canal at Muirtown, a mile west north west of Inverness city centre. The Muirtown Swing Bridge crosses the canal immediately to the north.
