The Falkirk Wheel and visitor centre (which always reminds me of a wedge of Gouda) https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54393683814/in/dateposted/

A view across to the southern escarpment of the Ochil Hills, taken from the upper basin of the Falkirk Wheel. The wedge-shaped building in the foreground is the Visitor Centre.
The Falkirk Wheel is a mechanical boat lift that was built for the Millennium. It replaced a flight of 11 locks that originally joined the Union Canal to the Forth & Clyde Canal. It is a very impressive structure, and well worth a visit.
The Falkirk Wheel. Coolest boat lift in the world. #falkirkwheel #scotland #canal #boatlift #boat #falkirk
Engineering at its most magnificent. The unique and uniquely beautiful Falkirk Wheel rotary boat lift opened in 2002. It fulfils a role originally accomplished by a flight of 11 locks when the Union Canal opened in 1822. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/falkirk/falkirkwheel/index.html

The Falkirk Wheel in Scotland, is a rotating boat lift that links the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal.
Spoiler alert: it's reeeeeeally sloooowwww. 😄
Went on a tour today that took us inside the Falkirk Wheel. Veeeery interesting how it all works. So much technology.
Just got off the Falkirk Wheel and it's a great experience on an incredible bit of engineering. We were taken up, piloted along the aqueduct, turned around, and came back the same way. Smooth ride, barely even notice you're being lifted or lowered.
Heading back towards #Greenock through #Glasgow and we've got a sea day tomorrow before we reach the Shetlands.

Booked some trips in #Scotland for May when we'll be there for a few days; we've only visited once before. Planning to explore #Edinburgh and #Inverness without any firm plans; just see what we like the look of. We were considering #Glasgow but have decided that a trip on the #FalkirkWheel and a nose around #Stirling appeals more. And then we've made sure we're on a tour to see #SkaraBrae, the Ring of Brodgar, and Skaill House on #Orkney.

The Falkirk Wheel. That's some high quality engineering. 👍😯
#falkirkwheel I saw pictures of the Falkirk Wheel before I came to Glasgow. I always wanted to see it but I only managed to go today. 😊 How impressive!
@WideAperture #FalkirkWheel is amazing
