The day after Edinburgh Zoo we visited the Falkirk Wheel. Â it is 35metres high and is the place where the Forth and clyde Canal meets the Union canal. Â 10 hydraulic motors are needed to turn the wheel and 1.5kWh of electricity is used which is equivelant to boiling 8 kettles. Â The picture at the end is the Scottish Kelpies

I had planned to visit Falkirk this Summer but didn’t make it. After seeing your photos will make sure I get there very soon – looks brilliant.
