Dochgarroch

Dochgarroch sits at the junction of Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal, making it a genuinely historic spot to anchor — you're right where Scotland's famous canal begins. Drop the hook here and you're within easy reach of Dochgarroch Lock, with the towpath walk back to Inverness stretching along the canal if you fancy stretching your legs. The setting is quietly dramatic, with the Great Glen opening up around you and Urquhart Castle just a cruise down the loch.
