The FALKIRK WHEEL, click here for more about the wheel


THE WORLD'S ONE AND ONLY ROTATING BOAT LIFT!
This area of the canals in Scotland used to have 11 locks
to connect the Union Canal with the Forth & Clyde, so this was installed in 2000. It is truly amazing. It's a giant rotaing gondola, that taked one load up as the other comes down, they balance eachother out and it only uses the energy of 8 toasters... isn't that amazing. Check out the link it'll tell you more.
