Welcome to The Falkirk Wheel |
 Claws the Movie!
Designed to reconnect the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal and sited in a natural open amphitheatre at Rough Castle near Falkirk, this remarkable and elegant mechanical marvel is the only rotating boatlift in the world and truly one of a kind.
The Falkirk Wheel can carry eight or more boats at a time with a single trip taking about 60 minutes and providing an unforgettable experience and great 'day out' for all the family.
Visitors can enjoy 'The Falkirk Wheel Experience' using special "trip" boats at the site and the distinctive new visitor centre gives an absolutely sensational viewpoint from which to see The Falkirk Wheel in action.

Grant for huge horse sculptures |

An artist's impression of the 100ft-high kelpie boat lift
|
Two 100ft-high equine sculptures which will function as a boat lift will be built next in the Falkirk area, as a result of a £25m lottery grant.
The artwork depicting horses' heads is the main part of The Helix Project, which aims to transform more than 300 hectares of unused land over six years.
The Big Lottery Fund grant will fund a new section of canal, linking the Forth and Clyde Canal into the Forth Estuary.
It will also pay for 750,000 new trees and 34kms of paths and cycle tracks.
