Falkirk Wheel
A side view showing height difference between the two canals. Union Canal much higher than Forth and Clyde canal at lower level.

I really must get to see the Wheel one day as it seems a great sight.

Visited there about three years ago in the summer time.
Plenty of people sight-seeing and watching boat lifts in action.
An example of good design and a simple engineering solution to re-open the canal.
Well worth a visit.
P.S. If you're going by car, keep your eyes open for the direction signs or you could be looking for hours.

Reputedly took 24 hours to navigate original locks.
