Caledonian Canal Act 1840

Caledonian Canal Act 1840 was passed on 4 August of the same year, "to authorize the Commissioner's of Her Majesty's Treasury" to allow for the leasing and management of the canal.[1]

The Caledonian Canal from Moray Firth to Loch Linnhe was completed on 30 October 1822 [2] and opened the same year. An Act of Parliament establishing the Caledenian Canal Commissioners was passed on 27 July 1803, and the commissioners made a corporate body in 1848. Both this canal and the Crinan Canal were subsequently privately leased in 1860.[3]
