The Falkirk Wheel is a huge boat lift joining the Forth and Clyde canal with the Union canal. It is the worlds first and only rotating boat lift. (It was a lousy rainy day when I visited the wheel so the processing may be a bit pushed to try and get something interesting. Comments gratefully received.)

Just in case any might be wondering the wheel is in Scotland.

This is truly great subject (gem of engineering) and also the processing is great! Maybe the top outlines of the lift would need a bit of additional treatment but apart from that great job!
