Falkirk Wheel

Falkirk Wheel rotating boat lift and the high level waterway section (see pip)

Note*****Re the pip***Having just come up 24 metres (79 ft), on the Falkirk Wheel boat lift this tourist boat has cruised the high level canal and is now heading towards the Roughcastle Tunnel, (centre distant)

The boat in the note can be seen below the pip and at the top of the wheel if the image is enlarged

Full information and facts of the wheel here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel

More images to follow!...... Wish you all a good weekend.

Oooh, I've seen this on the telly...............it's an amazing piece of engineering with the bonus of looking very impressive as well.

Your image here has really done it justice...........I love your perspective and composition and the surrounding landscape looks beautiful. A lovely PiP too, and a fascinating narrative and link.

Have a good weekend yourself Roger.
