British Waterways (Scotland)
Scottish Canals (Scottish Gaelic : Canàlan na h-Alba ) is the Scottish Government body responsible for managing the country's inland waterways. Formerly a division of British Waterways , it became a stand-alone corporation on 2 July 2012, then an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government in April 2020.
Based in Glasgow , Scottish Canals cares for 137 miles (220 km ) of waterway network in total, including 17 reservoirs and the navigation rights to four lochs, including Loch Ness . The body is responsible for five canals.[4]
History [ edit ]
British Waterways was founded in 1962 under the Transport Act , taking over statutory responsibility for operating and maintaining waterways across Great Britain.
In 2010 the UK Government determined that responsibility for inland waterways in England and Wales should pass to a new charitable trust , the Canal & River Trust . However, the Scottish Government decided that canals in Scotland would remain publicly owned and British Waterways would continue to operate in Scotland as a statutory corporation trading as Scottish Canals.[5] This public body became wholly accountable to Scottish Ministers with effect from 2 July 2012.[1] Legally, the organisation is still referred to as the British Waterways Board, but in all other aspects it uses the brand Scottish Canals.[6] In 2017, with a workforce of around 250 people, it was accredited as a Scottish Living Wage employer.[7]
In April 2020, Scottish Canals changed from operating as a public corporation to a non-departmental public body.[8] This change in designation was made by HM Treasury the previous because it did not generate half its revenues externally.[9]
