More Information
If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, you should visit The Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift.
The Falkirk Wheel is a marvel of engineering and art, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal in central Scotland. You can sail through the sky on a 60-minute boat trip that will take you from one canal to another, 35 metres above the ground.
You will witness the amazing fusion of ancient principles and modern technology that makes The Falkirk Wheel work with the same power it would take to boil eight kettles. You will also enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside and learn about the history and heritage of the canals. The Falkirk Wheel is not just a boat lift, it is also a destination for adventure and fun.
You can explore the visitor centre, which has a cafe, a gift shop, and a venue for events. You can also try some of the activities on offer, such as mini golf, water zorbing, canoeing, and segway tours.
There is something for everyone at The Falkirk Wheel, so don't miss this opportunity to see one of Scotland's most iconic attractions.
