The Falkirk Wheel is a massive boat-lift between two Scottish canals

A MUST-SEE tourist attraction if you are in the Central Scotland Area. This technological marvel is centrally located between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling and has good public transport links.
You can just sit in the restaurant and sip your latté while watching others venture forth on their uplifting inter-canal experience.
There are areas to interest the kids but when it’s dry, you will be dragged up to the Irn Bru play area.
You can easily spend a full afternoon at the Falkirk Wheel and in theory you don’t have to spend any money — even the car-parks are free.
