Starts in Holland and ends in Germany?

Sorry, not this time.

Clue: the French had an interest at one end.

Not a canal, a natural waterway. However, it is significantly managed with civil engineering controls in places, especially towards it's lower reaches.

A clue! Don Maclean sang a song which had a significant feature of this river in one of the lines.

American Pie - must be the Mississippi. I thought it looked tantalisingly familiar - I've flown over the Mississippi delta and the ship channel (in an airliner).

Yes indeed it is the Mississippi. The very end of it. Technically, I was looking for the start State and the end State, Minnesota and Louisiana respectively, but it’s been a long haul getting here. Thanks everyone.

Ah, but then we could have had an argument about whether the river was actually the Mississippi or the (considerably longer) Mississippi-Missouri, with its source in Montana.

A good anchorage, name the bay, what is the significance of the cottages regarding the anchorage.

Could it be Gometra (South) Harbour? If so the cottages were once occupied by boatmen who rowed passengers ashore to Staffa from the MacBrayne's steamer. (A journey I undertook as a child about 1955.)

Sorry Alan_D, not Gometra.

St Ninian's Bay, Bute? No road to the cottages.
