The Falkirk Wheel in Scotland is a 21st-century engineering marvel and the world’s only rotating boat lift, linking the Union and Forth & Clyde canals, with a visitor centre, boat trips, and interactive exhibits explaining its design. | A Scots Eye View

The Falkirk Wheel is a unique rotating boat lift in Scotland that connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. Opened in 2002, it was built to restore Scotland’s historic canal network. It lifts boats 24 meters and operates using Archimedes’ principle, ensuring balance by keeping each gondola at a constant weight. Since the Union Canal is still 11 meters higher, boats pass through a tunnel and locks to reach it. #scotland #visitscotland #engineering #scottish #canal #engineer #travel

The revolution takes roughly 4 minutes and uses the same energy as 2 hot showers. Filmed during very windy conditions! gbsct #falkirk #visitfalkirk #scotland #visitscotland | Scotdrone | Facebook
