Falkirk Wheel in Scotland is a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal which at this point differ by 35 metres in height.
On May 24, 2002, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II opened the Falkirk Wheel as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations. The opening had been delayed by a month due to flooding caused by vandals who forced open the Wheel’s gates.
