@scotdrone: Another Timelapse video of the famous Falkirk Wheel operating. It was VERY windy when I shot this so it’s not as smooth as I would have liked but it’s still an ok video I think 😁 #falkirk #canal #Scotland #timelapse #drone #water #engineering
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.

It’s essentially a lock but instead of levels it just rotates, probably saves a ton of space with this design but there’s a size limitation
