Scotland’s Falkirk Wheel Lifts Boats 100 Feet Between Canals
Opened in 2002, the Falkirk Wheel in central Scotland revolutionized boat travel by connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal, which is about 100 feet higher. This rotating boat lift replaced 11 traditional locks, making canal navigation more efficient and preserving the historic waterways.
