Canal at bend, retained by embankment The Crinan Canal heading towards the sea lock at Crinan. For some distance on the approach to the small settlement the canal was not 'cut' into the land but built along the coast and retained there by a remarkable embankment; at this location that embankment is strikingly thin!
