Caliness Trust - Our Vision
The Great Glen traverses the north of Scotland between Fort William and Inverness . Here, amidst a spectacular backdrop, the Caledonian Canal links the waters of Loch Ness, Loch Oich and Loch Lochy, forming an unparalleled coast to coast waterway. The canal and the Great Glen are enjoyed by many people each year however there is currently no provision for disabled people to experience a residential activity holiday afloat.
Our Vision is to build a boat which will be accessible to people of all abilities, which will:
- Offer residential holidays/cruises, living onboard and cruising the Caledonian Canal.
- Offer a variety of outdoor/adventure activities specifically designed for people with a range of different abilities.
- Enable families with one or more disabled members to enjoy holidays together.
- Act as a floating education, interpretation and resource centre for both visitors and locals wishing to learn about the history, geology, mythology and culture of The Great Glen and the construction and history of the Caledonian Canal.
- Be part crewed and maintained by volunteer members of the local community.
- Offer bursaries so that the project is affordable to all.
