Neptune's Staircase With Music On History Visit To The Caledonian Canal In Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of a steam train and Neptune's Staircase, a lock comprising eight locks on the Caledonian Canal, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Built by Thomas Telford between 1803 and 1822, it is the longest staircase lock in Britain. The system was originally hand powered but has been converted to hydraulic operation. The Caledonian Canal was conceived by the engineer Thomas Telford after the government asked him to look at measures which might stem emigration from the Highlands. He suggested that the construction of public works would provide employment, and would also help to develop industry, fishery and agriculture. An Act of Parliament obtained in July 1803 established a board of commissioners to oversee the work. Telford was appointed as principal engineer, with William Jessop as consulting engineer. There were two resident engineers; the one covering the southern section, including Neptune's Staircase, was John Telford, who was no relation to the principal engineer. Thomas Telford was born the son of a shepherd at Westerkirk, near Langholm, Dumfriesshire in August 1757.
