Swingers
This week's Saturday Timewatch features two swing bridges that are adjacent to each other at Banavie, near Fort William. They cross the Caledonian Canal.
On the right as you look at the photo, the swing bridge on the A830 is opening to allow boat traffic through. That has been in operation since 1971.
To the left, the rail swing bridge is opening at the same time. This listed building dates from 1901 though various operational improvements have been made over time.
