circa 1880: Sailing vessel Margaret Reid in the Caledonian Canal at Muirton. The canal was completed in 1887 and runs between the Irish Sea on the west and the North Sea on the east. As it links a series of lochs only 23 miles of waterway is actually artificial. The water is too shallow for modern commercial vessels to navigate but it is still used for pleasure cruises.

Completed in 1887, the Caledonian Canal stretches between the Irish Sea on its west and the North Sea on its east.
