Engineering at its most magnificent. The unique and uniquely beautiful Falkirk Wheel rotary boat lift opened in 2002. It fulfils a role originally accomplished by a flight of 11 locks when the Union Canal opened in 1822. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/falkirk/falkirkwheel/index.html

The Falkirk Wheel rotary boat lift. The image shows the Falkirk Wheel from a corner angle with the rotary element halfway through its cycle in the centre of the frame and the support for the fixed end of the canal on the right, with the lower pool bottom left. The visitor centre is in the background. The scene is in sunlight.
