Hi

Could it be the Crinan Canal which is in mid Argyll running from Ardrishaig on Loch Fyne to Crinan?

Hi Maggie
Wonder if it could be the Crinan Canal called the "gateway to the Western Isles"? See www.scottishcanals.co.uk/

Hi Anne
Great minds think alike, n'est-ce pas? Having youth on your side gives you the advantage of speed

Vraiment! As do my long elegant fingers. Never had a chubby little digit in my life. Just goes to show that it never does to take anything I say too seriously. :lol:
