Checked with the lady at the counter and she said it had been gone for some time now. <p> The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in Scotland, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal thereby re-establishing east to west coastal access for boats via the canal. Named after the nearby town of Falkirk in central Scotland, the lift opened in 2002, reconnecting the two canals for the first time since the 1930s as part of the Millennium Link project. The wheel raises boats by 24 meters (79 feet), but the Union Canal is still 11 meters (36 feet) higher than the aqueduct which meets the wheel, and boats must pass through a pair of locks to get between the top of the wheel and the Union Canal.
