The Falkirk Wheel is the world’s only rotating boatlift, used to connect the Forth and Clyde and Union canals in central Scotland. The wheel is a magnificent, mechanical marvel which is already being recognised as an iconic landmark worthy of Scotland's traditional engineering expertise. Designed to replace a series of lock gates built in the 19th century, The Falkirk Wheel is the showpiece of the Millennium Link project, where coast-to-coast navigation of the canals has been re-established for the first time in over 40 years.
