The monument is of national importance as a significant part of the Caledonian Canal, built between 1803 and 1822. Its scheduling is part of a programme of protection which also includes listing of buildings. The canal, designed by Thomas Telford and financed directly by Government, set new standards in the scale of its locks and was, at the time of its commencement, the world's largest canal.
