The Board will be responsible for the strategic management and
development of Scotland's five canals - the Forth & Clyde,
Union, Crinan, Caledonian and Monkland.
It will also oversee the transition of British Waterways
Scotland from being part of a cross-border public body to being a
self-standing Scottish public body from Spring 2012.

The closing date for entries is 28th November
2011.
Scotland's canals provide a stunning setting for sailing,
boating and paddle sports. As well as this primary role, they
stimulate multi-million pound regeneration and development, support
Scotland's tourism and destination economy, contribute
significantly to the active living agenda, biodiversity, heritage,
education and enable skills and confidence building projects in
some of Scotland's most disadvantaged communities.
