Falkirk Wheel

On the outskirts of Stirling the Falkirk Wheel was built.It is part of the Caladoneon Canal system.It connects canals to the locks.It is a rotating boat lift that takes boats from the bottom canal to the top canal about 35 metres high.It uses the same amount of energy as boiling 8 kettles.Incredble.
