A Spring morning at the Falkirk Wheel de Wandfoto.NL

The Falkirk Wheel is a modern boat lift which, along with some locks, connects the Union Canal with the Forth & Clyde Canal. By this the shipping route between Glasgow and Edinburgh is restored. It is the only rotating boat lift. The wheels are in the form of a Celtic ax. The two bassins are balanced according to the principle of Archimedes. The ships are lifted 24 meters. The Falkirk Wheel was opened in 2002 as part of the Millennium Link.
