The Falkirk Wheel is a 10 minute walk from The Wheel Caravan Park. Rough Castle Tunnel will lead you from the farm into the Falkirk Wheel complex. The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. Originally the canals were linked by a staircase of 11 locks which took nearly a day to transit. In 1998 work started on the ambitious Millennium Link project to rejoin the two canals, and the world's first and only rotating boat lift was opened by Her Majesty, The Queen in 2002. |
The Antonine Wall, known to the Romans as Vallum Antonini, was a turf fortification on stone foundations, built by the Romans across what is now the Central Belt of Scotland, between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. The Antonine Wall was inscribed by UNESCO in 2008, to become part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site. |
