Neptune's Staircase is the longest of the three staircase flights on the Caledonian Canal, the coast-to-coast Highland waterway.

It comprises eight locks, each big enough to take sea-going craft. It is located near Fort William on the canal section just north of Loch Linnhe. Fort William, overlooked by Ben Nevis (Britain's highest mountain), is a busy staging post for travellers from all directions.
