See the unique Falkirk Wheel boat lift

The Falkirk Wheel, an extraordinary attraction situated in the heart of Scotland, is an unparalleled marvel of engineering that stands as a testament to human ingenuity. The world's sole rotating boat lift, it connects two canals – the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Union Canal – with a notable 35-meter height difference, negating the requirement for multiple locks. The engineering brilliance behind its construction is an intricate balance of physics and design. Things to Do Once you're there, prepare for a boatload of fun! Take a boat ride on the wheel itself for a 360-degree view that'll make your jaw drop. Learn about the fascinating history at the Visitor Centre, grab a bite at the café, and let the kids run wild in the play area. Nearby Attractions Extend your exploration beyond the Falkirk Wheel to discover nearby attractions such as the Falkirk Tunnel and the scenic Callendar House grounds. The iconic Kelpies, representing Scotland's mythical water horses, are just a brief drive away. Getting There Located within easy reach of both Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Falkirk Wheel is conveniently accessible by car or public transportation. The journey to this captivating site promises not only convenience but also scenic beauty.
