  1. Engineering at its most magnificent. The unique and uniquely beautiful Falkirk Wheel rotary boat lift opened in 2002. It fulfils a role originally accomplished by a flight of 11 locks when the Union Canal opened in 1822. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fal

  2. At the rather splendid Falkirk Wheel with dad. Elegant & practical piece of modern engineering, can't help but think those venerable, innovative engineers of yesteryear, like Brunel, would appreciate it.

    A remarkably energy efficient boat lift that reconnected the Firth & Clyde Canal and Union Canal, from Edinburgh right to Glasgow & Clydebank.
