The Falkirk Wheel

The Falkirk Wheel is the world's first and only rotating boat lift, designed and built to connect the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, allowing coast to coast navigation across central Scotland. This marvel of engineering is a popular tourist attraction, with around 500,000 visitors each year. The wheel raises boats by 24 metres and is an impressive sight to behold. The site is fully accessible for visitors with mobility problems and is wheelchair friendly, with level access around the main site and inside the Visitor Centre. The Falkirk Wheel is a great place to visit with family and friends, with its unique fusion of art and engineering making it a must-see destination
