David Graeme of Braco Castle

Firm Investment

Forth & Clyde Navigation Company

Canal Company (Transport)

Notes

David Graeme subscribed £1000 to the company. The claim made in genealogical material that he introduced the bill establishing the project in 1768 is not supported by a detailed history of the company.
