		He was elevated to the peerage as Baron Dundas of Aske in August 1794, and was also Lord Lieutenant and Vice Admiral of Orkney and Shetland, Councillor of state to the Prince of Wales (later George IV), President of the Society of Scottish Antiquaries and Colonel, North York Militia.
		Thomas Dundas followed his father in having an interest in Grangemouth and in the Forth and Clyde Canal, and he would have been aware of the 1789 trials on the canal of Patrick Miller of Dalswinton's double hulled paddle boat powered with a steam engine fitted by William Symington.
		Lord Dundas and some of his relatives and friends were on board for the first sailing of the boat on the canal in 1803, but despite the success of the Charlotte Dundas fears of erosion of the banks prevailed, and the trials were ended leaving Symington out of pocket.

		At a meeting of the canal company's directors on the 5th June, 1800, Dundas "produced a model of a boat by Captain Schank to be worked by a steam engine by Mr Symington", and it was agreed this should be immediately put in hand.
		The Charolotte Dundas was the first steamboat to do more than move itself, and by successfully towing the two vessels along the canal, it demonstrated the uniqe way Symington must have married propulsion and hull.
		Lord Dundas, perhaps faced with the opposition of his fellow directors on the Canal Company, now not only lost interest in steamboats but failed to ensure that the costs of the Charlotte Dundas were met.

		At a time when it is fashionable and frequently justifiable to pillory the wealthy patrons of the Victorian era and earlier for their limited concern for the wellbeing of their communities it is refreshing to report such an outstanding example of good sense and genuine community spirit.
