Fort Augustus, located at the southern tip of Loch Ness, is a small town with a population of just over 600. Although the town is small, it is picturesque, and the Golden Lion Canal in the center of the town and the chic bars and hotels along the river are quite interesting. The ship lock here is the shrinking version of the Three Gorges Dam lock. The ship enters the ship lock from the upstream and passes through several stages of transition to drive into Loch Ness. Many tables and chairs in the bar are placed next to the Golden Lion Canal lock. You can buy a famous British dark dish, FISH & CHIP, fish and chips, and enjoy the boat locks and passing ships while eating.
