The Falkirk Wheel is truly one of a kind, the only example in Britain or the world. It is a rotating boat-lift, that hoists boats from the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal above it. It was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2002, and replaced a formidable series of eleven locks that took most of a day to pass through, leading to closure in the 1930s. A single lift takes just ten minutes.
