THE FALKIRK WHEEL
 

The Wheel was open by the Queen on 24th May 2002 

The Millennium Link Project  restored the Lowland canals city to city and firth to firth. Now the two canals are linked together with the Falkirk Wheel, which has become one of Scotland’s leading visitor attractions. The original eleven locks could not be reinstated so  the world’s first rotating boatlift was  built, 115ft high equivalent to eight double decker buses stacked on top of each other. There is a tunnel under the Edinburgh & Glasgow railway  and  the Antonine wall  coming out on the aqueduct to the Wheel
