The Falkirk Wheel Boat Lift
Updated July 17, 2019
The most awesome boat lift in the world must be the 35 m (115 ft) tall[1] Falkirk Wheel that connects the waterways between Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland.
A boat lift is an alternative to a lock. There are a few boat lifts around the world, and they can be vertically moving, inclined or rotational. The world's only rotating boat lift - the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland - was opened in 2002 and is as tall as eight double decker buses stacked on top of each other.[1] Here is the Falkirk Wheel from different angles.
