Falkirk Wheel Pano / SML.20240806.R8.07914-07924.Pano.BW

This series of rings support the aqueduct linking the upper canal (Union Cana), ending with the Falkirk Wheel, used to trasport ship from and to the lower canal (Forth & Clyde Canal).

 

Historically, these two canal were connected by a series of 11 locks. After the construction of the wheel in 2022, boats can travel the 24 meter (79 feet) difference in 5 minutes.
