CIHT Scotland have a limited number of tickets available for members to take a boat tour at the Falkirk Wheel.
The Falkirk Wheel is the world's first and only rotating boat lift. A marvel of engineering and Scottish Canals' flagship destination, which connects the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal, 35 metres above, allowing vessels to sail through the sky thanks to a unique fusion of art and engineering.
Transforming the contaminated site of a former tar works, The Falkirk Wheel opened in 2002 and replaced a flight of 11 locks that once stepped the Union Canal down to the level of the Forth & Clyde, more than 100 feet below. Whereas weary travellers once had a day’s heavy work opening and closing 44 lock gates to complete the journey between the two canals, The Falkirk Wheel allows vessels to transit between the two waterways in just a few minutes.
The tour is accessible, however please let us know in advance of any special requirements - regions@ciht.org.uk
**Please note, a non-attendance fee of £20 will be charged to any registrant that fails to provide 48 hours notice of cancellation.**
Preceding the boat tour, there will be a presentation on Scotland’s Canals – Past, Present and Future. Find out more and book your place: https://www.ciht.org.uk/event/scotland-s-canals-past-present-and-future/
