Ardrishaig PA30 8EX, United Kingdom
Ardrishaig Lock No 4 is one of some locks on the Crinan Canal and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Longstone Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Crinan Canal were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1835 but problems with Dundee Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. The canal between Windsor and Poole was lost by the building of the Oxford to Eastford Railway in 1990. In Thomas Smith's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Oldcester Embankment during a thunderstorm.
