Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

The Falkirk Wheel is a cool rotating boat lift in Scotland that connects two canals, the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It's like a giant Celtic-inspired double-headed axe that lifts boats up by 24 meters. The wheel was opened in 2002 as part of a project to reconnect the canals after being separated for decades. It's a unique engineering marvel that's worth checking out if you're into cool structures and innovative designs.
