Falkirk Wheel

The Wheel looms over the visitors below

Name: The Wheel looms over the visitors below

Description: The rotation is ponderous and slow as the whole mechanism weighs some 1200 tonnes, but is surprisingly quiet. It takes little effort to turn because the boats displace their own weight of water from the trough & only a gentle hum is heard during rotation.
