The Scottish Highlander is a boutique hotel barge cruising the Caledonian Canal in Scotland,[1] from Inverness to Fort William.
She was built in 1931, by Gebroeders Van Zutphen, in Vreeswijk, the Netherlands as a trading barge.
Following a renovation in the Netherlands, it sailed to Inverness in April 1993 to commence operations as a passenger ship.
In 1999 she was purchased by Derek Banks to become part of the European Waterways fleet of hotel barges.
As a working hotel barge she cruises in Scotland on the Caledonian Canal with up to 8 passengers.
