Falkirk Wheel

This is another shot from our Scottish holiday last year.

It is of the Falkirk Wheel. This is a rotating boat lift that lifts boats 35 metres between 2 canals.

It is an incredible piece of engineering, and uses 1.5Kwh to lift a boat, which is the same amount of energy used to boil 8 kettles!

Here is a link to the Falkirk Wheel website if you want to know more.

@iqscotland I managed to get on the front of one of the boats, before being told off:) I think it is incredible, and it is already such a great addition to Scotland's heritage.

@miseff Welcome to 365 Fiona, I hope you enjoy the journey. I hope to see some shots of The Falkirk Wheel from you then :)

[Fiona Read]

thanks Sean! I'm really excited about joining this site! I hope to learn a few things! I'm sure I will be at the Falkirk Wheel very soon (my kids love it there!) although I don't think my shots will be anything near as good as yours!! Hopefully one day though :D

[Sean O'Neill]

@miseff Hey Fiona, don't sell yourself short. If you go back in my project, or anybody elses just 3 or 4 months, you will see a huge change in what we do. If you ever want any advice just ask, pretty much anyone will offer it if asked. Most importantly, enjoy the experience. If you go back in my other albums a couple of days you will see what I think about 365 :)
