The monument is of national importance as part of the Caledonian Canal, built between 1803 and 1822. It is proposed for scheduling as part of a programme of protection also involving the listing of buildings. The canal was designed by Thomas Telford and financed directly by Government. It set new standards in the scale of its locks.
