Very informative. Thanks to all who provided information & videos.

Lots of Maritime stuff in Glasgow!

Thank you for your comments and suggestions, I most appreciate your feedback. We have one final day here before taking the train to Edinburgh. Tomorrow we have made plans to visit the Glasgow University and the Glasgow Botanical Gardens. Hopefully it will be a bit drier when we are moving between venues.

Great record of your adventures in Scotland. I can recommend the Irvine Maritime Museum in Irving. It is housed in the Linthouse, the engine works in Alexander Stephens yard. It was dismantled brick by brick and rebuilt in Irvine. There is also the Museum of Shipbuilding and the Denny Test Tank in Glasgow. All worth a visit... I have added a little video showing the English boat lift.

Great pictures Ron.
It's an impressive sight isn't it, and interesting to watch in action.
My wife and I went there for a visit a couple of years ago whilst touring Scotland in our camper.

Goodmorning ! Its 2am here. I think you meant that it joins TWO canal systems.🤗

The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift taking the place of miles of multiple locks in a canal. It lifts boats 100ft and joins 2 that’s right Two 😁 canal systems. It uses the Archimedes displacement theory.

Thanks for my spelling error

Ronald, thankyou for posting this. Reminds me very much of the Peterborough "Liftlock" in function altho not in appearance.....Rod👍

What is the Falkirk Wheel?
