The Falkirk Wheel boat lift is an exceptional feat of modern engineering and is already being recognised as an inspirational sculpture for the 21st Century. Designed to reconnect the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals and sited in a natural open amphitheatre at Rough Castle near Falkirk, this remarkable and elegant mechanical marvel is the only rotating boat lift in the world and truly one of a kind. Visitors can soon enjoy \'The Falkirk Wheel Experience\' using special amphibious trip boats at the site and the distinctive new visitor centre gives an absolutely sensational viewpoint from which to see the Wheel in action. The Falkirk Wheel boat lift can carry eight or more boats at a time with a single trip taking about 15 minutes and providing an unforgettable experience and great \'day out\' for all the family.

The Private House Stay's Guide
Falkirk Wheel
The Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal is a 31 mile contour canal (i.e no locks) that runs from Edinburgh to the outskirts of Falkirk where it joins the Forth and Clyde Canal (lots of locks) at the amazing Falkirk Wheel. There is a visitor's centre at the Wheel from where you can go on the wheel or you can hire a boat at Linlithgow Canal basin. On nice days, the dappled beauty of the sun shining through the overhanging trees that border the canal, combined with the Avon Aqueduct makes for a thoroughly enjoyable time. Boats can also be hired from the Bridge Inn at Ratho outside Edinburgh.
